Rijksmuseum Private Tour

On this private tour of the Rijksmuseum you will be able to discover the works of the most important museum in the Netherlands, as well as curiosities of the building. Did you know that it was built in the 19th century by master Pierre Cuypers? This artist combined Catholic design with the Calvinist era in Amsterdam and caused chaos by revealing the monument in Museum School Square. In the fifteenth century, when the Renaissance was born in Italy, the Flemish Primitives arrived in the Netherlands...

The combination of these two periods gave rise to modern painting. Today, many works are "unknown", but if we go back further in time, many names will begin to ring a bell. Jan van Scorel was appointed official painter to the Holy See by the only Pope born in the Netherlands, and some of his works can be seen in this museum. Unfortunately, the others were destroyed during the war in Flanders.

He travels through the Dutch Golden Age with his most famous masterpieces such as La Ronda de Noche or La Lechera… to continue until the 19th century with the self-portraits of Van Gogh or Don Ramon Satue Goya.
