The Art Gallery of Jan Gildemeester Jansz, Adriaan de Lelie, 1794 - 1795 Dutch Netherlands ( Adriaan de Lelie 1755 - 1820 Dutch Netherlands )

---

In 1792, the merchant Gildemeester converted two large rooms in his house on Amsterdam’s Herengracht into a picture gallery. Here we see that the walls are densely hung with paintings in gilded frames. Gildemeester stands in the middle of the front room, conversing with one of his guests. The visitors are studying the famous works, including a Rembrandt, visible above Gildemeester’s head.
