Rembrandt and Van Gogh Style Artwork 

When you think of Dutch artists the two that come to mind are Rembrandt and Vincent Van Gogh.

The famous late artist Rembrandt has his artwork displayed in several museums across the city, such as the Rijksmuseum and the Rembrandt House Museum. It’s a style that fits in well in living rooms rich with leather and traditional style.

Van Gogh’s artwork is also displayed at his very own Van Gogh Museum. This is a more lighthearted style of artwork, fitting in well in offices, bedrooms, or kitchens.
