[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 2505536, member: 2844"]Yes it does.:) Academie is Dutch for academy. As you see, Dutch is really easy.:joyful: I still can't read the last bit of the siggy, but it is the name of a studio: Atelier Maarten (something). Atelier simply means studio. Maarten is one of the Dutch versions of Martin, used only as a first name. I looked at Leiden streetnames that have the name Maarten in it. There is one, Maartenshof, but that is not the name of the studio. I think the name of the studio or maker is not that important, the style is pretty generic. The subject will have more appeal. There is even a Rembrandt connection. Rembrandt studied at Leiden University for two years. At the time the university was housed in the Academy Building.[/QUOTE]
