- Rembrandt van Rijn, The Night Watch (1642) Without a doubt, Night Watch,by Dutch Golden Age painter Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606–1669), is the heart of the Rijksmuseum.
- Rembrandt van Rijn, The Sampling Officials (1662) In the Gallery of Honor just outside the Night Watch Gallery, The Sampling Officials is another impressively huge work.
- Rembrandt van Rijn, Self-Portrait With Disheveled Hair (1628) Produced when Rembrandt was just 22 years old, this self-portrait is striking for its use of chiaroscuro, which obscures the artist’s face.
- Johannes Vermeer, The Milkmaid (c. 1660) While Johannes Vermeer (1632–1675) was among the greatest painters to emerge from the Dutch Golden Era, during his lifetime he was only modestly regarded.
What’s new in the collection. Every year, we add objects to the collection. This enables us to give a more complete picture of Dutch art and history. All these acquisitions are made possible by gifts, donations, funds, private persons and many more.

Pieter Claesz I 1627 I Oil on Panel I Gallery of Honor This might not look like a still life of our typical turkey dinners at Thanksgiving, but that’s because Claesz layered it with symbolism, meaning, warning, and even a hidden self-portrait. The Dutch know still lifes, one of the most iconic forms of high art you can find. In fact, “still-life” c...
Vincent van Gogh I 1887 I Cardboard I Room 1.18 Vincent van Gogh needs no introduction, and it seems only right that he figures prominently in this guide of Rijksmuseum’s giants of Dutch art. While we largely associate van Gogh with France, where he lived, painted, and tragically died, he was in fact, as his name suggests, Dutch. This hero of the m...
Jan Asselijn I c.1650 I Oil on Canvas I Gallery of Honor From a technical standpoint, The Threatened Swan is a beautiful piece, full of force, movement, strength, and fury. The swan is rising up, fierce and protective of its egg. The dog, in the lower-left corner, suggests the immediate threat. Because we view it from almost the same perspective as...
Jan Havicksz Steen I 1668 I Oil on Canvas I Gallery of Honor The Merry Family draws you in with its exuberance and joy. It almost feels as if you should pull up a chair, light a long, slender clay pipe, and join in the singing. Steen’s painting of a family in revelry—men and women, children, and even a dog, partaking in bacchanal afternoon festivit...
Hendrick Avercamp I 1608 I Oil on Panel I Room 2.6 This is a favorite painting in the Rijksmuseum collection, mostly because it is a masterful collection of stories within one work. Avercamp, born deaf and mute, was a well-respected artist of his day who was active during a period of transition in Dutch art. Landscapes, always a favorite subject in...
George Hendrik Breitner I c. 1894 I Oil on Canvas I Room 1.18 When Japan finally opened its borders in the mid-19th century, the Dutch joined the rest of the world in a frenzy for all things Japanese. Dutch artist, George Hendrik Breitner found himself especially captivated by Japanese woodcuts. He worked with his favorite model, a local seamstress...
Anton Mauve I 1876 I Oil on Canvas I Room 1.18 We move ever so slightly back in time to Anton Mauve’s subtly exquisite painting of a ride on the beach. Mauve, Breitner, and van Gogh were contemporaries and knew each other well. Van Gogh and Mauve were related by marriage. He often wrote about their friendship, but the two had a terrible fight over ...
Jan van Goyen I 1641 I Oil on Canvas I Room 2.6 Van Goyen’s Landscape with Two Oaks is an important expression of a classic, idealized Dutch landscape. It has many of the attributes that we associate with the genre. It is monochromatic, displays moody colors, is balanced by a low horizon line, and showcases fine careful detail. This landscape, thou...
Frans Hals I c. 1622 I Oil on Canvas I Gallery of Honor It’s hard not to fall in love with this couple who are so clearly in love. The truth is, it’s hard not to fall in love with Frans Hals himself. Hals was a wildly successful portrait painter in 17th century Haarlem, a town that was suddenly and boisterously wealthy. He was so popular that he se...
Johannes Vermeer I c. 1660 I Oil on Canvas I Gallery of Honor Johannes Vermeer is another who needs little introduction. He and Rembrandt are the princes of Dutch art and the kings of Chiaroscuro. Here, with his Milkmaid, he communicates so much with such skill. Start with the mathematics of the painting. You are drawn to the milkmaid and her hands...
