Rembrandts Masterclass

Until 25 May from 10:00 to 18:00

Exhibition

Rembrandt is one of the greatest artists ever. How did he become so good? The exhibition Rembrandts Masterclass focuses on Rembrandt’s craftsmanship, his technique and his tactics. Discover his best tips and tricks.

Rembrandts Masterclass

Whatever kind of creator you are, you can learn in five Masterclasses: Looking, Technique, Emotion, Experimenting and Selling.

The exhibition features etchings, paintings and a drawing by Rembrandt. But you can also get creative yourself: draw an elephant, try to recognise a real Rembrandt, practise posing for a self-portrait, and much more. You will be challenged to look, draw, experiment and analyse just like Rembrandt.

At the end of the exhibition, you will come face to face with one of Rembrandt’s masterpieces: the painting The Anatomy Lesson of Jan Deijman. In a slow watching room, you will discover step by step how this work of art brings together everything that Rembrandt was so good at. Fun for young and old!

A masterpiece

The exhibition ends with a slow watching room. Here you come face to face with one of Rembrandt’s masterpieces: the painting The Anatomy Lesson of Jan Deijman (1656). The painting was partially destroyed by fire: only the centre section remains. But even that part is moving and fascinating. Everything Rembrandt was good at comes together here: observation, technique, emotion, experimentation and salesmanship. With the help of an audio tour, among other things, you will discover step by step why this is a masterpiece.
