Just a few steps further away is a house of another famous Amsterdammer and Rembrandt's client. The house on a number 101-103 was a home of Jan Six. He was a poet and an important figure in the cultural life of the city. He was a son-in-law of Nicholaes Tulp (you may remember him from the ‘Anatomy lesson’, painted in De Waag building). Jan Six was also important as a major of Amsterdam in his later years. He was a good friend with Rembrandt, who made a few of his portraits. However, when a painter borrowed some 1,000 guilders from him, and after it became obvious he won’t return that loan, their friendship came to an end.
