Everywhere you go in the Rijksmuseum you will find large information sheets designed to help you see more in the works of art. Fifty of the collection's highlights are looked at more closely: from the Night Watch to the aeroplane, and from the Temple guardians to our newest acquisitions Marten Soolmans and Oopjen Coppit.
Because so many visitors wondered whether these sheets were also for sale,
the Rijksmuseum decided to compile them in this handsome publication, designed by Irma Boom. The drawings are by Jan Rothuizen. The handy fold-out system allowed the original A-3 format to be maintained, whereby all of the details are clearly legible.
Spotlighted details and clear-cut texts examine all manner of aspects of the works of art in the collection, ranging from their symbolism, technique, style, and material to their historical context. Before you is a book overflowing with salient details and fascinating facts!
