Description: Looking out of Rembrandt’s window, this image captures a view from within an upper floor of the painter’s home, studio, and art dealership in Amsterdam, which he occupied from 1639 and 1658. The iconic Dutch terracotta roof tiles on a neighboring building are tightly flanked by open, rustic wooden shutters, each sun-streaked with pops of color and shadows that create a painterly quality. One shutter, held open by an iron pole and latch, adds a functional element to the old-world Dutch architectural aesthetic. Its captivating visual perspective, with a hint of abstraction, is poised to be a conversation starter. Its authentic historical location combined with its striking color palette is certain to draw the eye’s attention in any interior space.
