- Reason
- Sublime, striking and beautifully-reproduced group portrait by one of Rembrandt's more notable contemporaries. From the article: When Sir Joshua Reynolds visited Amsterdam in 1781, he praised the painting as "perhaps, the first picture of portraits in the world, comprehending more of those qualities which make a perfect portrait than any other I have ever seen". On June 25, 2006, Hans-Joachim Bohlmann intentionally damaged the painting by spraying lighter fuel onto the surface and lighting it.

- Surely it's not a turkey in Amsterdam in 1648 (though it does look like one). I'm not sure what it is, though. Some sort of goose? Chick Bowen 17:33, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
