I’m so glad to see so many of you enjoying this little Rijksmuseum Journey. And about this wonderful building, it still enchants me every single time I set foot in it. But so do many of my colleagues, even though some of them have worked here for over 40 years. You can still discover new details, such a great genius the architect actually was. Pierre Cuypers, the architect of this 1885 building, not only designed this building. He also created the painted details, and ornaments. We even have some of his original 19th century furniture and display cases on display for the public. And once again, thank you for this wonderful reaction! I truly appreciate it.
Love this series, it makes me want to visit the museum again. If you want to see more beautiful paintings check out Hendrick Avercamp. He was deaf but became one of the best winter painters of the 17th century. Can't wait for the final part.
If you then want to go first to the Molen van Sloten, where we have the Rembrandt part and he draw and etched from the neighbourhood in Sloten, where i live very close to and have big images from the Nightwatch and from Rembrandt and his family
Wacht ff hoor... Dat is waar Leidens Ontzet om gaat? Die komt wel even keihard binnen klappen lol, nooit over nagedacht maar natuurlijk super logisch. Vet
Love Rembrandt for suggesting so much detail and precision with very crude brush strokes and thick slabs of paint and cutting in it with a knife. Van Gogh is such a trudger compared, but I have to admit, I'm not very sensitive to colour and don't like Van Gogh.
@@danieljodrey8863 So are tulip fields and I don't give a damn about those either. I'm not colour blind but I'm just not moved or impressed by colour like many people so I guess Van Gogh just isn't for me. Nontheless, Rembrandt was a pioneer in a lot more and could do it all.
He makes it sound like the Dutch protestants started the war. The Dutch were cool with religious tolerance they already practiced, and then this Spanish Empire king sends the Spanish Inquisition and tens of thousands bloodthirsty troops on them.
Nice, enjoyed this. He was a bit mistaken: it’s the stern of the British flagship not the prow/bow. When Queen Elisabeth once visited the museum they avoided her seeing this.
@@46numanr that’s not true actually. They did ship it back to England to commemorate the Raid on the Medway. But this beautiful piece of history is still on display in room 2.15 of the Rijksmuseum. And still owned by the Dutch government I might add.
@9:05 First thought: 'Dutch apple pie', but it's probably some sort of raised game pie. Eating hazelnuts, olives and drinking white wine. Looks delicious though. 😉
This series makes me think I should've gone on a guided tour or something. I clearly missed a lot of background while there, good reason to do another visit.
I Don't know if there is a subtitled version of it, but I'd recommend you watch the movie Michiel de Ruyter. It's a pretty cool and accurate depiction of the life of one of the greatest Dutch historical characters.
Dammm I didn’t knew this documentary existed but I can’t w8 for tomorrow! Much love from a proud Dutchman Ps, I hope you can come over soon and feel our lovely nation by yourself
The story of the Medway raid always makes me laugh. Even if some things went wrong and even if you can debate how it was planned etc etc... the balls on all the people involved to do this and pull it off is the balls we miss today really.
Yes, it also makes me proud as a Dutchie. But what happened a few years later? England ganged up with France and parts of Germany and totally defeated the Dutch Republic. We had the Annus Horribilis (Rampjaar), to quote a certain queen. And the Golden age ended there and then. But it is still good to know we had such strength that three big countries were necessary to bring one tiny one to its knees. We paid dearly for our fun on the Medway...
How does a smal country win from Spain and England? Attack and win, but with tactics the others do not understand yet! We invented better ways to win at sea but also on land.
you will fall off your chair if you know what some of those little silver items in the doll house cost. we recently gave that trophy back to britain, madness.
The doll house was at the time almost the same as the price of the real house it was made from with silver and everything moving pieces etc true masterpieces some interior pieces can be today more then 10.000 euro for collectors if they are rare
The Netherlands 🇳🇱 were the smallest and richest country in the world during the Golden Age, nowadays, within Europe.. the smallest and richest country (2,03 km long and wide)… is… Yup Monaco 🇲🇨.
@@tetaomichel yes, upon invitation. It is still a touchy subject to this day in England, can't remember if it was in this documentary, but when Elizabeth the second visited the museum, they actively steered her away from that stern piece of the Royal Charles.
“De beeldenstorm” … the rage against anything which wants to overpower our sense of freedom of thinking and believing in whatever we want. Just don’t ever think of pushing your beliefs on us… I like it. We can use that kind of thinking again today. (History repeating)…
The Dutch being completely done with religion had one problem. The poldermodel. Endless debates to make sure everybody had a say and the majority agrees on any given subject. Our politics are terribly boring and the processes are slow as turtles. :) But tolerance is a great thing that came from it too :)
Polderen makes this country rich still now.The most efficeent country ..it looks we talk an talk about things .because everyone have time to say how he thinks...The best compromis.off everything. It works.

Love this little series! Thanks!!! I can never learn enough about history and historical Art.
Highly interesting documentary as only the BBC can make it, looking forward to part 4.
Can't wait till the next one.
This is amazing, I love it
Op youtube kan je alle series al volgen.
Next Sunday, the 3rd of October my hometown of Leiden still celebrates being freed from the Spaniards in 1574.

There ain't nobody like Rembrandt. Van Gogh either for that matter. So want to tour Dutch museums some day.

Don't count Vermeer out. Total genius.

And 3 or 4 years ago our King give it back to the English Queen.

@@marcusfranconium3392 I agree :) AND we invented the Musket.

We let them borrow it for a themed exhibition.
@@mrjules1982 I must have seen some crappy reporting on it then.

They were the pride of the mistress if the house, not for children! The Rijksmuseum has several in their collection.
@@annehoog yeah its amazing
The big lesson we learn here is that destruction does not come from outside. Anyway.
