Rembrandt House Paintings

The Rembrandt House displays the artist’s studio and furnishings and many of his etchings and drafts, but none of his famous works. Visitors interested in seeing Rembrandt’s best-known paintings should visit Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum. The Rembrandt House Museum does own a collection of paintings by Rembrandt’s teacher, Pieter Lastman, and by Pre-Rembrandtists, painters working in Amsterdam just prior to Rembrandt’s arrival in 1631.
