 Rembrandt
& the Dutch
Golden Age
iamsterdam.com/rembrandt2019

Self-portrait, Rembrandt van Rijn, c. 1628 29

 2019 marks the 350th anniversary of the death of Rembrandt
van Rijn, the greatest Master of the Dutch Golden Age.
Several Dutch cultural institutions commemorate Rembrandt’s
legacy with special events and exhibitions, many of which are
included in your City Card:

Jewish Historical Museum

Included in the City Card, see more details on page 16.

Rembrandt’s masterpiece from the Israel Museum

13 Sep-10 Nov 2019
This unique exhibition displays Rembrandt’s masterpiece
‘St. Peter in Prison (The Apostle Peter Kneeling)’, a work that
exemplifies Rembrandt’s genius at portraying states of mind and
spiritual qualities through the language of light and shadow. The
painting is part of the Netherlandish art collection from the Israel
Museum in Jerusalem, and has not been on display in the
Netherlands for the last 120 years.

Museum Het Rembrandthuis

Included in the City Card, see more details on page 19.

Rembrandt’s Social Network

1 Feb-19 May 2019
This exhibition focuses on Rembrandt’s friends and acquaintances,
and the role they played in his life and work. The informality of
the paintings, drawings and prints is striking, and the exhibition
includes work by Rembrandt that has rarely, if ever, been seen in
the Netherlands.

The workshop of Rembrandt, Museum Het Rembrandthuis

30
Inspired by Rembrandt
7 Jun-1 Sep 2019
Museum Het Rembrandthuis is not just Rembrandt’s former home
and workshop; for more than a century it has been a museum
with its own collection, which consists primarily of works on paper.
This exhibition features the most remarkable examples from the
museum’s collection inspired by Rembrandt.

Laboratorium Rembrandt
21 Sep 2019-16 Feb 2020
How did Rembrandt make his paintings and etchings? And how
do we go about investigating this today? For this exhibition, the
museum creates a laboratory-like setting in which new insights
and the Master’s secrets are revealed.

Rijksmuseum
Included in the City Card, see more details on page 22.

All the Rembrandts

Isaac and Rebecca (‘The Jewish
Bride’), c. 1665 - c. 1669
15 Feb-10 Jun 2019
Nowhere in the world can
you find more Rembrandts
than in the Rijksmuseum,
and the entire collection
is on display for the first
time ever. With 22 paint-
ings, 60 drawings and the
best 300 examples of his
1,300 prints, this special
exhibition provides a
complete and versatile
picture.

Rembrandt-Velázquez
11 Oct 2019-19 Jan 2020
A comprehensive overview of the extraordinary paintings by
the two great 17th century Masters from the Netherlands and
Spain. Thanks to a unique collaboration between the Museo
del Prado and the Rijksmuseum, masterpieces by Velázquez
and Rembrandt, as well as Murillo, Vermeer, Zurbarán, Hals and
Ribera, are displayed together for the first time.

 Stadsarchief Amsterdam – City Archives

The Private World of Rembrandt

until 7 Apr 2019
This exhibition gets up close and personal with Rembrandt and
his art by bringing to light the (known and unknown) stories of the
Dutch Master through original 17th century documents about his
daily life, work, clients, wives, children and financial problems. An
unmissable exhibition for enthusiasts of the painter, his art and
the 17th century.

Museum De Lakenhal – Leiden

25% discount on entrance fee, see more details on page 28.
The museum opens its doors to the public on 18 June 2019.

Young Rembrandt
3 Nov 2019-9 Feb 2020
Almost 400 years after their creation, works produced in Leiden
by the now internationally famous Master return to the city of
his birth. With approximately 40 paintings, 120 etchings and 20
drawings on show, visitors can see how the young painter’s talent
developed and flourished.

Rembrandt and the Mauritshuis

important collections of paintings by Rembrandt. The museum is
exhibiting all of the 18 paintings in its collection that are or have
been attributed to Rembrandt as well as paintings that are no
longer considered to be by Rembrandt and are rarely, if ever,
on display.

Nicolaes Maes
17 Oct 2019-19 Jan 2020
The Mauritshuis presents the first retrospective exhibition of
Nicolaes Maes, one of Rembrandt’s most talented pupils. Featur-
ing over 30 paintings, the exhibition shows Maes’ varied oeuvre,
from the biblical representations he painted at the start of his
career through his intimate domestic scenes of subsequent years
to his elegant style of portraiture from the 1660s onwards.
