There is no question that Vincent van Gogh and Rembrandt van Rijn are amongst the greatest Dutch artists of all time. They and their work might seem world’s apart, over 180 years separated their lives after all. But on closer inspection, you’ll see that the works of the Dutch Baroque master and the world-renowned Post-impressionist painter are more similar than you might have think.

"I think more about Rembrandt than may appear from my studies"

"When I was surrounded by paintings and works of art, I took a violent passion for them. And Rembrandt of course!"

Van Gogh & Rembrandt in Amsterdam is an immersive son-et-lumière show that lets you explore, through light and sound, how Vincent van Gogh became fascinated by Rembrandt when he lived in Amsterdam, and how his work was inspired on the paintings, etchings and views of the great master.

"It is with justice that they call Rembrandt a magician"

"My thoughts are full of Rembrandt at the moment because I see so many types among the people here we remind me of that time"

The Noorderkerk is a place they both visited in Amsterdam, as both attended Sunday services there. Now, the church helps to tell their story, as the ancient inner walls become a continuously changing 360° canvas and Van Gogh’s voice is heard in the church through his letters to his brother Theo. 

"So, Rembrandt painted angels, he dreams, dreams, and his brush begins"

Van Gogh & Rembrandt is a sound and light show in Amsterdam unlike any other, and an unforgettable experience that stimulates all your senses.
