The Rijksmuseum’s jewels are on the first floor: 17C portraits, still-life paintings and landscapes. Numerous works by Rembrandt include The Syndics of the Clothmakers' Guild, and The Jewish Bride; four Vermeers including Woman in Blue Reading a Letter and The Milkmaid; Jacob van Ruisdael’s mastery of landscape is underscored by his View of Haarlem. Several works by Jan Steen of feasting and tavern scenes. Rembrandt’s The Night Watch is a formidable portrait of mercantile militiamen.
