Rembrandt van Rijn was a Dutch 17th-century painter, and one of the most interesting artists of all time. His paintings are full of drama, contrasts between light and dark and experimental brushwork, and are famous all over the world. His lively and original images still touch people today. Rembrandt’s work is unbelievably varied. He mainly made history paintings and portraits, though he also painted landscapes and still lifes. Rembrandt made almost 300 paintings and many prints and drawings in his career.

The world famous Delft pottery has a rich history, which goes back to the time of the V.O.C. (Dutch East-India Company).

Of the ca. 32 pottery bakeries, Royal Delft is the only remaining factory in Delft.
