Vincent meets Rembrandt

Whenever someone mentions the great Dutch painting masters, there is a good chance they are referring to either Rembrandt van Rijn or Vincent van Gogh (or both). They are some of the greatest Dutch artists of all time. And while their lives were separated by centuries, their works turn out to be more similar than you might think.

The exposition Vincent meets Rembrandt tells the story of how the two painters are connected, how Van Gogh became fascinated by Rembrandt and even inspired by him. The story is told through Van Gogh’s letters to his brother (recited in English) as well as the artwork of both artists. Vincent meets Rembrandt is an immersive experience that will leave you mesmerized.

Vincent meets Rembrandt is the first son-et-lumière (sound and light) show to be shown on such a scale inside a national monument. The show uses the entire interior of the Noorderkerk, from the walls to the brim, as its setting creating a 360° moving canvas. Inside the church, you’ll find yourself surrounded by sunflowers, angels and blossoms as you experience the admiration Vincent van Gogh had for Rembrandt van Rijn.

The story unfolds around you, while you lay down in the comfortable beanbags or take a stroll through the church. You'll see and hear how Van Gogh found inspiration in Rembrandt's paintings, etchings and the views of the great master. You could call Rembrandt the first influencer that ever lived! 

When you step into the Noorderkerk for this incredible show, you’ll step into a 360° masterpiece. It will take you on an artistic journey through the past, to show you how Rembrandt inspired and influenced the works of Van Gogh.
