Today we present to you a beautiful view of Amsterdam frozen in time. The 18th-century Raampoortje (window door) is part of the city wall of Amsterdam near the Flower Canal (Bloemgracht). The small gate leads to the bleaching yard outside the city walls, where dyed cloth is spread out on wooden frames to dry, from which Raampoortje takes its name. In this work, we pass the houses on the flower canal from the white fields to the cold city. Westertollen loomed in the distance. The gate was demolished in 1846.
Did you see the man under the bridge? What is he doing? Sometimes the Dutch painters’ love of realism makes me intrigued.
Thanks to the Rijksmuseum for sharing today’s work with us.
