Molen De Kat

Zaandam, Noord-Holland

Verfpigmenten gemalen door windkracht.

A working paint windmill in Zaandam that grinds pigments using wind power, just as it has since the 17th century. Watch ochre, sienna, and umber being ground between massive stones. The miller explains how these pigments ended up on Rembrandt's palette.
