Kröller-Müller Museum

The Kröller-Müller Museum is located in the middle of National Park ‘De Hoge Veluwe’ in the Netherlands. It is named after Helene Kröller-Müller, who founded this museum for modern art in 1938. The museum has one of the largest and most renowned sculpture gardens in Europe.

The museum has the second largest Van Gogh collection in the world: including 90 paintings and 180 drawings. In the special Van Gogh Gallery, 40 works by Vincent van Gogh are always on display in a varying arrangement, including the world-famous 'Terrace of a Café at Night'. Next to Van Gogh you can find masterpieces by modern masters such as Georges Seurat and Piet Mondriaan. The famous 'Mata Hari' by Isaac Israels is also part of the collection.

Dutch Art Reproductions and Kröller-Müller Museum

We’ve been working together with the museum shop of the Kröller-Müller museum since 2005. They have chosen us to reproduce the artworks on canvas and on ceramic tiles. We have an exclusive licensing agreement with them and we are the only ones with access to their complete collection. Each reproduction is made in close collaboration with the museum and compared with the original artworks to ensure the finest quality.

Van Gogh Museum

The Van Gogh Museum is the place where art lovers can admire the works of the world-famous Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh.

With more than 200 paintings, 500 drawings and more than 800 personal letters, the Van Gogh Museum manages the largest collection of his work worldwide. In addition to his own artworks, the collection also includes works by contemporaries, providing a rich context for Van Gogh's unique style and artistic vision.

The legacy of Vincent van Gogh: from unknown talent to world-famous art collection

Vincent van Gogh sold only two paintings during his lifetime. Despite his limited recognition during his time, after his death he left an impressive oeuvre to his younger brother, Theo van Gogh.

After Theo's death in 1891, the collection fell into the hands of his widow, Jo van Gogh-Bonger, and their son, Vincent Willem van Gogh. Jo was instrumental in promoting Vincent's work and sold a select number of paintings to increase his fame. At the same time, she ensured that a representative collection was preserved. After Jo's death in 1925, her son, Vincent Willem, inherited the works of art. This collection forms the core of the Van Gogh Museum.

From collection to knowledge institute: the story behind the Van Gogh Museum

In 1962, an important step was taken to safeguard Vincent van Gogh's legacy. The entire art collection was transferred by Vincent Willem van Gogh to the Vincent van Gogh Foundation, in an agreement with the Dutch State. In return, the State undertook to build the Van Gogh Museum and make the collection accessible to the general public.

Research is an essential part of the museum's mission. The Van Gogh Museum combines science, art and history to better understand the work and life of this world-famous artist and to share it with new generations.

Dutch Art Reproductions x Van Gogh Museum

We have been working closely with the Van Gogh Museum since 2005 and make reproductions on canvas and ceramic tiles for their museum shops. In 2022 we expanded our collaboration through an exclusive license for our ceramic tile products.

Thanks to the Van Gogh Museum's high-quality digital images and our use of the latest technologies and craftsmanship, our reproductions are unrivalled in quality; The intense colours of Vincent van Gogh's masterpieces come to life on our high-gloss ceramic tiles.

With this collaboration we celebrate the timeless beauty of Vincent’s artworks and strive to bring his art to homes around the world.

Thanks to Theo, Vincent had the means to develop as an artist and follow his dream. Despite the support that Vincent received from his younger brother, he still had to work very hard. He persevered and never stopped believing in himself, despite countless setbacks. But without his brother’s help, he would never have succeeded.

This is a beautiful example of what support and trust can do for a person. With this generous thought in mind we also want to give something back to the work Vincent shared with us. We want to make sure his art, his thoughts and his inspiration stay alive and therefore we financially support the preservation of Van Gogh’s legacy for future generations.

The Mauritshuis

The Mauritshuis (officially Royal Cabinet of Paintings Mauritshuis) has been a museum in The Hague since 1822, mainly with paintings from the Golden Age. The permanent collection includes The Girl with the Pearl and View of Delft by Johannes Vermeer, 'Soo voer gesongen, soo na gepepen’ of Jan Steen, The bull of Paulus Potter and The anatomical lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulip by Rembrandt van Rijn.

The Mauritshuis is originally a city palace, built for Johan Maurits, Count of Nassau-Siegen in the 17th century. The architecture of the building, designed by the painter architect Jacob van Campen, has been followed many times. The building on the Hofvijver is owned by the Dutch state and belongs to the 'Top 100 of the National Institute for Monument care' from 1990. More than two hundred masterpieces by Dutch and Flemish masters have their place in the classic interior of the Mauritshuis. The silk walls, sparkling chandeliers and monumental ceiling paintings exude a pleasant atmosphere.

Interiors by Jan Steen, landscapes by Ruysdael, still life’s by Coorte and portraits by Rubens give a rich and varied image of paintings from the seventeenth century. In June 2014, after a major renovation, the Mauritshuis opened a new museum wing in Art-Deco architecture. The ‘old house’ is now connected via an underground corridor with a new entrance and museum shop.

Rijksmuseum

The collection of paintings from the Rijksmuseum gives an overview of Dutch painting from the 15th century to around 1900. The emphasis here is mainly on the 17th-century Dutch Masters. The museum also has a small collection of Southern Dutch and Italian masters.

The various masterpieces are presented in the hall of honor, a large hall in the longitudinal axis of the museum. At the end of the hall is the most famous work of the museum, The Night Watch by Rembrandt, in The Night Watch room. In the years 1950 to 1990 the book ‘120 Paintings from the Rijksmuseum’ was published, containing black and white photographs of a selection of 120 paintings from the museum. In 1808 the museum moved to Amsterdam by order of Louis Napoleon. From 1809, the collection of the Rijksmuseum together with the art collection of Amsterdam, was housed on the top floor of the Palace on Dam Square. The new director, Cornelis Apostool, was tasked with putting together a catalog of objects. In 1817 the collection of the Rijksmuseum, as it was called after the accession of William I, moved to the 17th-century Trippenhuis. After the fall of Napoleon in 1815, an important part of the artworks, which were brought to Paris by the French from 1795 onwards, were reclaimed by the Netherlands.

The print collection from The Hague was also housed here, while the historical objects were moved to the Royal Cabinet of Rarities, established in 1820 in The Hague. Unlike under his predecessor Roos, hardly any major purchases were made under the directorship of Apostool (from 1808 to 1844). The Rijksmuseum building with more than 80 rooms is located between the Stadhouderskade and the Museumplein in Amsterdam-Zuid and is owned by the State and is managed by the Central Government Real Estate Agency.

On the side of the Museumplein is the South Wing, in which temporary exhibitions are held. In the gardens there is the entrance building, the Teekenschool and the former director's residence, nowadays the office for the curators. On the other side of the Hobbemastraat is the Management Building and the Atelier building, in which the restoration department is located.
