Its pictures do not cease to excite and interest people, causing at them new and new thoughts. The incorporated whole world, Rembrandt by right is considered national pride of the country. And as to oblivion during lifetime... В"Let the loneliness is better, but in inspiration of light of which is not allowed to behold to anybody from its contenders-so tries to solve a spirit of soul of the great artist its compatriot, the person of the XX-th century, writer Tyojn de Fris,-let loneliness, but in a kingdom of the shades which one kind forces others to shudder for fear and despair.

It is better to live alone, but in such unusual, wonderful and fantastic world where anybody from its contenders not to find road. Only he, the magician, owns secrets of this world and lives in it, not testing neither surprise, nor trembling В".

Any Dutch accompanying you across Amsterdam, will not give up to itself in pleasure to show you the area carrying a name of Rembrandt and a monument to this genius. The idea of an establishment of a monument has been cast by an example of the next Belgium: a constant competition between the Netherlands and Belgium - one of appreciable lines of their mutual relations.

There's nothing to be done, at first Dutches did not accept Rembrandt live, and then - and in an image of a monument, and in 1875 the construction is transferred and establish in the centre of other area - Botermarkt which next year receives the name Rembrandt's area. Later, in 1924, the monument "has gone through" one more "resettlement": it have removed in depth of the area, and a pedestal have replaced with lower.
