View of the Dam and Damrak at Amsterdam (Frick Collection)

View of the Dam and Damrak at Amsterdam, also known as Quay at Amsterdam, is a 17th-century oil on canvas painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Jacob van Ruisdael.

One View of the Dam and Damrak at Amsterdam is in the Museum Boymans van Beuningen in Rotterdam; the other View of the Dam and Damrak at Amsterdam is in the collection of the Mauritshuis,[3] but is on long-term loan to the Amsterdams Historisch Museum, since 1999.

[1] At that time Ruisdael lived on the Dam Square, the main square of Amsterdam, but he could not have painted this from the window of his studio, as it was facing the other way.

[5] The painting is not in good condition, especially the bottom half, although not as bad as the Boymans van Beuningen version.

[1] [6] It is accession number 1910.1.110 in the Frick collection, where it is called Quay at Amsterdam.
