Rembrandt's Amsterdam, 1660
Amsterdam at mid‑century is at the height of its Golden Age: new canals ring the city, the vast new Town Hall crowns Dam Square, and fleets of East Indiamen ride at the quays. The walk moves from the harbour into the grachtengordel and the dense working streets where merchants, mapmakers, tulip sellers and artists animate every quay and square.
34 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Amsterdam as it stood in 1660 (“Dutch Golden Age”).
