Stained glass window inside the Grand Hotel Amrath, Amsterdam; formerly the Shipping House (Scheepvaarthuis). the first true example of the Amsterdam School, a style characterised by "expressive dynamism, lavish ornamentation and colourful embellishments". It was erected on the spot where Cornelis Houtman's first trip to the East Indies had begun in 1595. The first part was built 1913 - 1916 (during World War I); the second part was built 1926 -1928.
