EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Mill, 1641" by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn. The image depicts a windmill known as the Little Stink Mill, situated on the De Passeerde bulwark along Amsterdam's city wall in the Netherlands. With its ramshackle appearance and weathered sails, this mill exudes an air of history and industry. It stands as a testament to the power of wind that once fueled Amsterdam's thriving leathermaking trade, as it was owned by the Leathermakers Guild. Rembrandt's etching beautifully captures both the grandeur and simplicity of this iconic structure. The fine details in his work bring life to every nook and cranny of the mill, showcasing his mastery in capturing light and shadow. As we gaze at this print, we are transported back to 17th-century Holland when windmills dotted the landscape, symbolizing innovation and progress. They were not only essential for various industries but also served as landmarks within their communities. "The Mill, 1641" is a remarkable piece that reminds us of our rich cultural heritage while celebrating mankind's ingenuity harnessed through wind power. This timeless artwork serves as a window into Amsterdam's past—a tribute to its industrious spirit that continues to thrive today.
