You're standing on the Jodenbreestraat, in front of the house where Rembrandt van Rijn lived and worked for almost twenty years. Take a look at the front. The house was built around 1606, and around 1627 it got an extra floor and a new façade with that triangular pediment on top. That was probably overseen by Jacob van Campen, who later designed the city hall on Dam Square.
