 Van Gogh Museum

Vincent Van Gogh was one of the great exponents of post-impressionism. During his lifetime he painted almost 900 paintings and about 1600 drawings. Of all his artistic production, more than 90% corresponds to the last 3 years of his life.

It is said that those three years in Van Gogh’s life were full of obsessions and setbacks. But, at the same time, they served as inspiration for his most symbolic works. Throughout his life, Van Gogh was only able to sell a single one of his paintings. Nevertheless, the painter became a worldwide artistic reference during the 20th century.

All its history, passion and suffering will be narrated by the guide who will accompany you in the detailed review of each painting.

In the excursion you will learn through a historical account all the influence that the different characters had in the life of this genius.  Also, you will see the techniques used by Van Gogh in each work, as well as his most outstanding paintings.

You will appreciate up close the artist’s great paintings, such as:

• Van Gogh’s self-portraits
• Sunflowers
• The room in Arles
• Potato eaters

During the tour, you will have the opportunity to admire different works related to Van Gogh’s life. You will also see paintings by many other painters who befriended him throughout his life.

Rijksmuseum

The next stop will be the historic Rijksmuseum, which is located in the center of Amsterdam. This museum is considered the largest and most important museum in all of Holland. Each of its halls is filled with the most representative works of the Dutch Golden Age.

Your private guide will take you to the exhibitions of some of the greatest exponents of the Golden Age, such as:

• Willem Claeszoon
• Jan Steen
• Jacob Ruysdael
• Frans Hals, among many others.

The best part is that you will be immersed in the history of each painting with the help of the guide, who will explain in detail the value and techniques used by these masters. On the tour, we will take you to one of the main attractions of the museum: the works of Rembrandt.

In this way, you will be close to his most historical paintings, such as The Jewish Bride, The Jesse Tree, The Death of the Innocents and some of his ingenious landscapes of the Netherlands – a visual spectacle!

To complete the tour, you will also be able to appreciate a valuable collection of Egyptian and Asian art housed in the Rijksmuseum.

In short, each of its rooms hides different treasures to admire and enjoy.
