You easily miss it but there is a statue of Rembrandt on the Rembrand plein. All around are pubs & disco's.
Rembrandt became the most important painter in the beginning of the 19th century when Belgiun separated itself from the Netherlands and claimed Rubens as their national painter. The statue on the Rembrand plein, which used to be called buttermarket, was meant to be cast in bronze, but typically Dutch it was cast in iron to keep costs as low as possible. The statue of Rembrandt is made of cast iron because bronze was too expensive.
