About ‘Amsterdam painting The Window Gate in Amsterdam’
The Raampoortje in Amsterdam, Wouter Johannes van Troostwijk, 1809 The Raampoortje in Amsterdam in winter with snow. In the background, the facades of Bloemgracht and the Westertoren. The 18th-century Raampoortje was located in Amsterdam's city wall, off Bloemgracht. The gate gave access to the bleaching fields outside the wall, where dyed fabrics were laid out to dry on wooden 'windows': this is how the Raampoortje got its name. Here we look from the bleaching fields along the Bloemgracht facades into the winter city. In the distance is the Westertoren. The gate was demolished in 1846.
