Exhibition Program 2025
Samuel van Hoogstraten
1 February until 4 May 2025
The most significant artist to have trained under Rembrandt is thought to be Samuel van Hoogstraten. He is widely known for his famous book on art in which Rembrandt’s teaching practice and ideas about art are mentioned in detail. But Samuel van Hoogstraten also left an extensive oeuvre of paintings, drawings, and prints. His interest in perspective and the illusionistic quality of trompe l’oeil resulted in mesmerising works of art that were sought after in both the Netherlands and abroad. This will be the first-ever exhibition dedicated to Samuel van Hoogstraten as a writer and an artist, in the place where he studied to become an artist.
Rembrandt & Amsterdam
23 May until 7 September 2025
In 2025, we will celebrate the 750th anniversary of Amsterdam. In the summer exhibition, you will see the city through Rembrandt’s eyes. He lived most of his life in Amsterdam and often captured the city and its residents in his prints. He made portraits of Amsterdammers and observed everyday life in the city. From street vendors to the city council – Amsterdam comes alive in nearly 50 etchings by Rembrandt from the Rembrandt House Museum collection.
Home
26 September 2025 until 4 Janury 2026
For Rembrandt, his house was very important. It was not only where he lived, but also where he worked. It all came together here. The house and its inhabitants appear regularly in his work. But what about contemporary artists? What role does this house, and the feeling of home, play in their art? A selection of contemporary artists reflects on this theme and share their unique “feeling of home.”
