Rijksmuseum Amsterdam - Ground Floor Gallery 01: Asselijn To Maes
Amsterdam, Netherlands - September 2016
"The Threatened Swan" - oil on canvas painting by Jan Asselijn (c.1650).
The Rijksmuseum was founded in The Hague in 1800 and moved to Amsterdam in 1808, where it was first located in the Royal Palace. The current main building was designed by Pierre Cuypers and first opened its doors in 1885. It is one of the most visited museum in the Netherlands and with record numbers of 2.2 million and 2.47 million visitors. It is also the largest art museum in the country. I was most fortunate to visit it while on a tour of Europe.
The ground floor galleries displays artwork from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
These are the photos taken of the artwork at the museum; for presentation purposes and due to photography angle, many of these have been cropped and edited to compensate for low lighting. It is better to visit the museum as nothing beats seeing the originals.

This blog comes in several pages, this is page one of two of the ground floor galleries and include artwork from Jan Asselijn to Nicolaes Maes; click below to navigate to other sections:
