The Art Gallery of Jan Gildemeester Jansz, 1794-1795. In 1792, Gildemeester, a merchant, turned two large rooms at his house on Amsterdam's Herengracht into an art gallery. Here he stands proudly at the centre of the front room, speaking with one of his guests. Visitors are examining famous paintings, including a Rembrandt - above Gildemeester's head. The walls are completely covered in paintings, all with gilt frames.
