At Amsterdam - from 29th to 31st of August

Night Watch Lembrandt

On the way back to Scotland after having a long Summer holiday in Japan, I stoped over in Amsterdam. Yeh... I really love this city so much... Liberal minded civilisation with a great history of global market, diplomacy with Japan during the period of Shogunate, the homeland of many celebraty artists such as Lembrandt and Van Gogh, and famous Red-Light-District...

If the weather was better I could draw a sketch beside the canals like I did 2 years ago. The weather on those days I stayed was, unfortunately, rainy periodically and actually cold though summer! So during the day, I visited 3 museums I mostly wanted to observe, House of Lembrandt, National Museum, and Heineken Museum(we can have 3 pints of Heineken after the tour!).


By the way, let's look at the famous picture "Night Watch" drawn by Lembrandt. As you know Lembrandt is my most respectable painter in history of all over the world, I am really happy to observe the real "Night Watch" in Amsterdam National Museum! Of course all of us would be impressed by the technique as a representative art, it is serously real to dscribe objects and humal as though they exist just here as real, but the thing we also should notice symbols and effects to make the picture further more impressive.
