Thus edified by all the little genre paintings and tronies, we had lunch at the museum cafe and then headed back to see a number of old friends, starting with the special collections and the engraved and stippled glass that is so remarkable. Then it was off to see the paintings, the biggies, the Hall of Honor, etc., as we have done and blogged about many times before. Accordingly, I will leave identifying the various paintings below as a homework assignment. Hint: Google Lens.

| When we first came to Amsterdam and the Rijksmuseum in 1979, Rembrandt was the thing; except for Night Watch, he doesn't get that much prominence nowadays |
