The Omval
Rembrandt van Rijn (mentioned on object), 1645
Rembrandt’s contemporaries would have instantly recognized the spot depicted in this print. This piece of land was called The Omval, after a ruin once located there. On the other side of the Amstel River is the dike near the Watergraafsmeer. Underneath a finely detailed pollard willow, Rembrandt depicted a man lovingly placing a wreath of flowers on a woman’s head.
