no. 348) and the Schinkelbrug (bridge no. 176P). Schinkelkade Along the Schinkelkade, the some residents have been very active for years with the construction and maintenance of tree pits, decorating the base of the trees with herbs and plants. In spring and summer, these landscape arrangements become a hallmark off the neighborhood. Along the river, there are also potted plants, benches and chairs, making it a nice place to relax and look out over the water. Piet Mondrian One of the first cityscapes painted by Piet Mondrian is the work from ca. 1895 entitled "View of Schinkelbuurt" (Gezicht op Schinkelbuurt). The painting shows part of the district bathed in sunlight. This neighborhood, inhabited from the Middle Ages at the end of the Overtoomse canal, belonged to the edges of the city in Mondrian's time. Mondrian based his landscapes and cityscapes on direct observation. Mondrian, however, continued to work on View of Schinkelbuurt in his studio, only adding the light accents later. The thumbtacks in each corner indicate that the canvas or paper had been punctured first, probably on the inside of the lid of his painting case.
