Rembrandt
(1606-1669) - Famous master painters from the Golden Age, among
others Rembrandt (himself the son of a miller), have painted and
drawn mills.
Holland
with its polder mills, watermills and windmills counts as a typical
"mill country". Six hundred years ago the first polder
mill was built in the Netherlands. For this reason, 2007 was declared
"Year of the Mill", with the intention of stimulating
the public and political interest in mills.
