Rembrandt, Marten and Oopjen

Marten Soolmans posed in 1634 to be immortalized by Rembrandt van Rijn. Many rich people from that time were allowed to paint, but a portrait by Rembrandt, one of the most sought-after portrait painters of the time, was only for the richest. As a knowledge of Rembrandt and son of a wealthy Flemish immigrant, who owned a successful sugar refinery in Amsterdam, Marten won a prize. Confident and dressed up as always, he posed. Oopjen Coppit already lived in Amsterdam. She came from a wealthy family of grain and gunpowder merchants and her father had much influence in Amsterdam. Oopjen wore a less decorated garment, but her black silk dress and her jewelery show the quality and richness of that time. The original portrait of Marten and Oopjen can be admired at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

About the Rijksmuseum

The Rijksmuseum is the most iconic museum of The Netherlands. In 2013 the completely renovated museum opened her doors to the public in the renovated Cathedral of Cuypers at the Museum square in Amsterdam. A breathtaking building with a surprising decor and beautiful exhibits. The Rijks has existed for over 200 years and has been in various locations. In 1885 the museum settled in and officially opened in the Cathedral of Cuypers and became 'The Rijks' as we know it to this day.
