The Poor bridge

The poor bridge or "armbrug" in Dutch is one of the most used standpoints by artists to draw, paint or photograph the Kolkje . One of the most picturesque scenes of Amsterdam.
A painting from this point made by my father in 1942.

  2. Prachtig plekje. Ik las dat de naam genoemd is naar de Oudezijds Armsteeg, en dat die naam is afgeleid van (letterlijk) arm omdat deze steeg van en naar de bocht in de Warmoestraat leidt. Dus niet 'arm' in de zin van 'behoeftig'. Maar op Google maps lijkt me dat niet erg logisch (?)

  3. I see that artistic talent runs in the family. This view is wonderfully photogenic, so I can see why artists are drawn to it. Great reflections.
