Met de klas naar het museum
The Rembrandt Association is committed to preserving and enriching the Netherlands’ public art collections, both materially and immaterially. With expertise and vision, the association supports art collections across the country. It operates independently of government, politics and other institutions.
Thanks to the support of the Rembrandt Association, Rijksmuseum Twenthe was able to acquire a remarkable work: View of Hampstead Heath: Child’s Hill, with Harrow in the Distance by the renowned 19th-century English landscape painter John Constable. A first for the Dutch National Collection – no other museum in the Netherlands owns a painting by Constable.
Previous acquisitions made possible with support from the Rembrandt Association include the 18th-century portraits of Marie Jeanne Puissant and Marie Romain Hamelin by Alexander Roslin, and Wooded Landscape with a Resting Shepherd by a Sunlit Path with Sheep by Thomas Gainsborough.
