54 works across 2 institutions
Amsterdam holds 54 works by Rembrandt across 2 institutions, including Rijksmuseum and Amsterdam Museum.
Rembrandt's handling of light and shadow is the great achievement of Northern European painting, and it is above all a physical achievement — thick impasto highlights built up from layers of glaze, darkness that seems to breathe. Standing in front of a major Rembrandt self-portrait is one of the defining experiences of looking at Western art.

Planning your visit to Amsterdam
The Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, and Stedelijk Museum are all on the Museumplein and can be visited in a single day. Pre-book the Van Gogh Museum online — it sells out regularly. The Museumkaart (Museum Card) offers unlimited access to over 400 Dutch museums for one year and pays for itself quickly.
