Portrait of Cornelia, Clara and Johanna Veth, Jan Veth, 1885
olieverf op doek, h 88.5cm × w 108cm. More details
Veth was young and still living at home when he portrayed his three sisters with painstaking honesty. His father assessed the likenesses of his daughters with equal candour: ‘My opinion of these portraits is, and will always be, that they are excellent likenesses, which are anything but flattering, and there are a few sharp edges, which I would rather have seen some-what softened.’
Rijks Museum - National Museum of Netherlands
Vision:
The Rijksmuseum links individuals with art and history.
Mission:
At the Rijksmuseum, art and history take on new meaning for a broad-based, contemporary national and international audience.
As a national institute, the Rijksmuseum offers a representative overview of Dutch art and history from the Middle Ages onwards, and of major aspects of European and Asian art.
The Rijksmuseum keeps, manages, conserves, restores, researches, prepares, collects, publishes, and presents artistic and historical objects, both on its own premises and elsewhere.
From 1800 to 2013
The Rijksmuseum first opened its doors in 1800 under the name ‘Nationale Kunstgalerij’. At the time, it was housed in Huis ten Bosch in The Hague. The collection mainly comprised paintings and historical objects. In 1808, the museum moved to the new capital city of Amsterdam, where it was based in the Royal Palace on Dam Square.
After King Willem I’s accession to the throne, the paintings and national print collection were moved to the Trippenhuis on Kloveniersburgwal, while the other objects were returned to The Hague. The current building was put into use in 1885. The Netherlands Museum for History and Art based in The Hague moved into the same premises, forming what would later become the departments of Dutch History and Sculpture & Applied Art.
The beginning
On 19 November 1798, more than three years after the birth of the Batavian Republic, the government decided to honour a suggestion put forward by Isaac Gogel by following the French example of setting up a national museum. The museum initially housed the remains of the viceregal collections and a variety of objects originating from state institutions. When the Nationale Kunstgalerij first opened its doors on 31 May 1800, it had more than 200 paintings and historical objects on display. In the years that followed, Gogel and the first director, C.S. Roos, made countless acquisitions. Their first purchase, The Swan by Jan Asselijn, cost 100 Dutch guilders and is still one of the Rijksmuseum’s top pieces.
Move to Amsterdam
In 1808, the new King Louis Napoleon ordered the collections to be moved to Amsterdam, which was to be made the capital of the Kingdom of Holland. The works of art and objects were taken to the Royal Palace on Dam Square, the former city hall of Amsterdam, where they were united with the city’s foremost paintings, including the Night Watch by Rembrandt. In 1809, the Koninklijk Museum opened its doors on the top floor of the palace.
A few years after Willem I returned to the Netherlands as the new king in 1813, the ‘Rijks Museum’ and the national print collection from The Hague relocated to the Trippenhuis, a 17th-century town-palace on Kloveniersburgwal, home to what would later become the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. Much to the regret of the director, Cornelis Apostool, in 1820 many objects including pieces of great historical interest were assigned to the Kabinet van Zeldzaamheden [Royal Gallery of Rare Objects], which had been founded in The Hague. In 1838, a separate museum for modern 19th-century art was established in Paviljoen Welgelegen in Haarlem. Contrary to the days of Louis Napoleon, very few large acquisitions were made during this period.
Cuypers Cathedral
The Trippenhuis proved unsuitable as a museum. Furthermore, many people thought it time to establish a dedicated national museum building in the Netherlands. Work on a new building did not commence until 1876, after many years of debate. The architect, Pierre Cuypers, had drawn up a historic design for the Rijksmuseum, which combined the Gothic and the Renaissance styles. The design was not generally well-received; people considered it too mediaeval and not Dutch enough. The official opening took place in 1885.
Nearly all the older paintings belonging to the City of Amsterdam were hung in the Rijksmuseum alongside paintings and prints from the Trippenhuis, including paintings such as Rembrandt’s Jewish Bride, which had been bequeathed to the city by the banker A. van der Hoop. The collection of 19th-century art from Haarlem was also added to the museum’s collection. Finally, a significant part of the Kabinet van Zeldzaamheden, which had by then been incorporated into the new Netherlands Museum for History and Art, was returned to Amsterdam.
Renovations
Over the years, collections continued to grow and museum insight continued to expand, and so the Rijksmuseum building underwent many changes. Rooms were added to the south-west side of the building between 1904 and 1916 (now the Philips wing) to house the collection of 19th-century paintings donated to the museum by Mr and Mrs Drucker-Fraser. In the 1950s and 1960s, the two original courtyards were covered and renovated to create more rooms.
In 1927, while Schmidt-Degener was Managing Director, the Netherlands Museum was split to form the departments of Dutch History and Sculpture & Applied Art. These departments were moved to separate parts of the building after 1945. The arrival of a collection donated by the Association of Friends of Asian Art in the 1950s resulted in the creation of the Asian Art department.
The 1970s saw record numbers of visitors of almost one-and-a-half million per year, and the building gradually started to fall short of modern requirements.
‘Verder met Cuypers'
The current renovation reinstates the original Cuypers structure. The building work in the courtyards are removed. Paintings, applied art and history are no longer displayed in separate parts of the building, but form a single chronological circuit that tells the story of Dutch art and history.
The building is thoroughly modernized, while at the same time restoring more of Cuypers original interior designs: the Rijksmuseum has dubbed the venture ‘Verder met Cuypers‘ [Continuing with Cuypers]. The Rijksmuseum will be a dazzling new museum able to satisfy the needs of its 21st-century visitors!
Every year, the Rijksmuseum compiles an annual report for the previous year. Annual reports dating back to 1998 can be found here (in Dutch only). Reports relating to the years before 1998 are available in the reading room of the library.
O Museu Rijks é um dos maiores e mais importantes museus da Europa.É o maior dos Países Baixos, com acervo voltado quase todo aos artistas holandeses. As obras vão desde exemplares da arte sacra até a era dourada holandesa, além de uma substancial coleção de arte asiática.
Esse é o Rijksmuseum, o Museu Nacional dos Países Baixos. E aproveite, caro leitor, porque o Rijks esteve parcialmente fechado para reforma durante 10 anos – voltou a funcionar só em 2013. Ou seja, quem esteve em Amsterdam na última década não conheceu o Rijks, pelo menos não completamente.
Mas o quê tem lá? Muita coisa. Destaque para as coleções de arte e História holandesas. Os trabalhos dos pintores Frans Hals e Johannes Vermeer são alguns dos mais concorridos, mas imbatível mesmo é Rembrandt van Rijn, considerado um dos maiores pintores de todos os tempos. Se você não é um fã de museus de arte, mas faz questão de conhecer o trabalho desses grandes artistas, uma dica: assim que chegar ao Rijks, vá direto para a ala onde estão as obras-primas. Assim você vê o mais importante no início da visita, quando ainda está descansado e poderá dedicar o tempo necessário para essas obras.
A mais famosa delas é a “A Ronda Noturna”, de Rembrandt, uma obra que inspirou músicas, pinturas, filmes e até um flash mob. Quando o Rijks foi reaberto, artistas recriam a cena mostrada no quadro dentro de um shopping de Amsterdam. A ação está no vídeo abaixo e eu te garanto que vale a pena dar play.

Origem: Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre.
O Rijksmuseum é um museu nacional dos Países Baixos, localizada em Amsterdão na Praça do museu. O Rijksmuseum é dedicado à artes e história. Ele tem uma larga coleção de pinturas da idade de ouro neerlandesa e uma substancial coleção de arte asiática.
O museu foi fundado em 1800 na cidade da Haia para exibir a coleção do primeiro-ministro. Foi inspirado no exemplo francês. Pelos neerlandeses ficou conhecida como Galeria de Arte. Em 1808 o museu mudou-se para Amsterdã pelas ordens do rei Louis Napoleón, irmão de Napoleão Bonaparte. As pinturas daquela cidade, como A Ronda Nocturna de Rembrandt, tornaram-se parte da coleção.
Em 1885 o museu mudou-se para sua localização atual, construído pelo arquiteto neerlandês Pierre Cuypers. Ele combinou elementos góticos e renascentistas. O museu tem um posição proeminente na Praça do Museu, próximo ao Museu van Gogh e ao Museu Stedelijk. A construção é ricamente decorada com referências da história da arte neerlandesa. A Ronda Nocturna de Rembrandt tem seu próprio corredor no museu desde 1906. Desde 2003 o museu sofreu restaurações, mas as obras-primas são constatemente presentes para o público.
A coleção de pinturas inclui trabalhos de artistas como Jacob van Ruysdael, Frans Hals, Johannes Vermeer e Rembrandt e de alunos de Rembrandt.
Em 2005, 95% do museu está fechado para renovação, mas as pinturas da coleção permanente ainda estão em mostra em uma exibição especial chamada As Obras-primas.

Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn, Leiden 1606 - Amsterdam 1669
Saskia van Uylenburgh im Profil, in reichem Kostüm / Saskia van Uylenburg in a Red Hat (1642)
Museumslandschaft Kassel
Jan Veth, der 1911 in sein Buch „Im Schatten alter Kunst“ ein Kapitel über die Rembrandt-Gemälde in Kassel aufnahm, schrieb in der Regel sachlich, bisweilen sehr kritisch über die ausgestellten Werke. Im Fall der Saskia verändert sich sein Ton merklich, es ist ihm „ein Bildnis, das man, wie auch über seinen absoluten malerischen Wert gedacht wird, und was daran auch bekrittelt werden mag, doch um etwas sehr Liebes in Rembrandts Werk nicht missen möchte“. Er steigert sich zu wirklicher Begeisterung, ruft den Liebhaber Rembrandt in Erinnerung, „der willens war, sie zu malen mit den heiligen Entzücken, mit dem der Licht und Leben Liebende das Leuchten der Morgenstunde begrüßt, mit dem atemlosen Zittern, womit der dürstende Schatzgräber einen kostbaren Edelstein entdeckt.“ Viele ähnliche Stimmen ließen sich zitieren, die den hohen Stellenwert gerade dieses Bildes für die Kasseler Galerie, aber auch für das Gesamtwerk Rembrandts überhaupt belegen. Auch einer heutigen nüchternen Befragung entzieht sich das Gemälde immer wieder durch manche Rätsel seiner Form, Darstellung und Bedeutung.
Vor dunklem Grund steht eine junge Frau bis zur Hüfte sichtbar vor uns, den Körper leicht, den Kopf dagegen ganz in das Profil nach links gewendet. Das von oben links einströmende Licht beleuchtet ihr Gesicht und den Rand des großen roten Samtbaretts mit einer weißen Straußenfeder, dazu ihre rechte Schulter und Teile der Hände, die sie vor der Brust zusammenführt. Ihre Kleidung ist außergewöhnlich reich gestaltet: Das rote Samtgewand weist golden gestickte Borten auf, auch das Barett erhielt einen goldenen Brokatbesatz. Ihr Hemd, das am Hals dicht geschlossen ist, besteht aus konzentrisch gearbeiteten Bändern von Ornamenten in lichtem Gelb und Grün, dazu goldene Zierapplikationen und eine Perlenkette, die in der Mitte eine größere tropfenförmige Perle aufweist. Die Arme bekleiden große Puffärmel, die ebenfalls golden glitzern. Goldgeschmeide findet sich auch an einem Band, das von der Schulter auf die Brust reicht, weiterhin am Handgelenk der jungen Frau, an dem sie überdies mehrere Perlenketten trägt. Eine Goldkette hält auch ihr rötliches Haar zusammen, golden ist ihr Ohrschmuck, an dem eine weitere tropfenförmige Perle hängt. Ein Pelz liegt links über ihrer Schulter und ihrem Arm, während er rechts an dem mit goldenen Schmuckstücken verzierten schwarzen Band geknüpft zu sein scheint. Im Widerspruch zu dem aufwendigen Schmuck hält die Dargestellte in der Hand lediglich einen kleinen Zweig mit schmalen grünen Blättchen.

Coachwork by Veth (NL)
A French car, an English name and a Dutch body. The car’s modest two-door body was produced by the Arnhem coachbuilder, Veth (still in existence today).
Yet the most noteworthy thing about this car is the rubber front bumper, which was likewise made in Holland. It was manufactured by Overman and could absorb a collision at up to 40 km/h. Some insurance companies at the time offered a reduced premium to car owners who installed this type of bumper. It should be noted that bumpers were not commonplace on cars in those days.
In 1867 the American Benjamin Hotchkiss set up an arms factory near Paris in Saint-Denis. However, business was not good and in 1903 he decided to build cars instead. The logo made up of two crossed cannons refers to the factory’s original trade.
This AM 80 with its 3.0-litre, six-cylinder engine was the car that cemented Hotchkiss’ reputation as a manufacturer of refined and powerful engines. The balanced crankshaft had seven bearings and was mounted in vibration dampers. The AM 80 continued in modified form until Hotchkiss ceased passenger car production in 1955.

H.C. Wijers, slijter en winkelier, liet het winkelpand bouwen op de plaats van drie kleine panden en vestigde er zijn goedlopende onderneming in. Aan het begin van de twintigste eeuw gaf Wijers het pand over aan J.A.M. Simons, een winkelbediende van de firma, die er enkele jaren zijn Dordtse Manufactuurhandel dreef.
Toen ook hij vertrok, kreeg het pand een bestemming als kantoor, maar vanaf 1924 is er een dansschool gevestigd. Het met een lijst gevel bekroonde pand is bekend onder de naam Sociëteit Amicitia. In 1974 betrok deze in 1783 opgerichte herensociëteit het pand, dat inmiddels de status van rijksmonument heeft (nummer 13714).

During my visit to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, I was watching an extra on the composition technique of the painters. This portrait was made in 1885 by Jan Veth I have examined. It looks that the painter has used the Golden Ratio. Use The guides by this classical method I posted in the painting.
-Tijdens mijn bezoek aan het Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam lette ik extra op de compositietechniek van de schilders. Dit portret gemaakt in 1885 door Jan Veth heb ik nader bekeken. Het ziet er naar uit dat de schilder gebruik heeft gemaakt van de Guldensnede. De hulplijnen volgens deze klassieke methode heb ik in het schilderij geplaatst.

"Portrait of Albert Verwey" Jan Veth (1864-1925)
Oil on canvas, 1885
The poet Verwey was the young leader of the Tachtigers (those of the 80's) - an influential group of writers and artists who around 1885 wanted to shake up cultural life. Unlike most of his comrades, Verwey came from a working-class background. In this portrait, Jan Veth, a fellow Tachtiger, captured Verwey's humble origins and rebellious nature. The portrait can thus be seen as the visualization of the Beweging van Tachtig (80's movement)."
Jan Veth (1893)
Ein realistisches Porträt zeigt drei Frauen, die eng beieinandersitzen. Ihre Kleidung ist schlicht und dunkel, ihr Blick ernst und ruhig. Die Frau links legt behutsam die Hand auf die Schulter der mittleren, deren Gesicht müde wirkt, fast melancholisch. Die rechte Frau sitzt aufrecht, mit verschränkten Armen, entschlossen und gefasst. Der dunkle Hintergrund lenkt den Blick vollständig auf die Gesichter und ihre stillen Emotionen. Das Gemälde vermittelt Würde, Zusammenhalt und eine leise Traurigkeit – ein Moment zeitloser, stiller Stärke.
A realistic portrait shows three women sitting close together. Their clothing is simple and dark, their expressions serious and calm. The woman on the left gently rests her hand on the shoulder of the middle one, whose face appears weary, almost melancholic. The woman on the right sits upright with folded arms, resolute and composed. The dark background draws full attention to their faces and quiet emotions. The painting conveys dignity, unity, and a subtle sadness — a timeless moment of silent strength.

Zelfportret (ca. 1885) van Jan Veth uit de collectie van het Rijksmuseum op de tentoonstelling 'De heks van Dongen' in het Stedelijk Museum Breda (laatste dag)
Franse auto, Engelse naam, Nederlandse carrosserie. Het ingetogen, tweezits koetswerk van deze auto is afkomstig van de – nog steeds bestaande – Arnhemse carrosseriebouwer Veth. Des te unieker omdat de meeste Hotchkiss-auto’s in die tijd worden uitgerust met een fabriekscarrosserie. Toch gaat de meeste aandacht bij deze auto uit naar de veerkrachtige, rubberen voorbumper, overigens ook van Nederlands fabrikaat. Hij is van het merk Overman en kan een aanrijding tot 40 km/u absorberen. Sommige verzekeringsmaatschappijen leveren in die tijd premiekorting aan auto-eigenaren die een dergelijke bumper laten monteren. Hierbij moet opgemerkt worden dat bumpers op auto’s nog geen gemeengoed zijn in die tijd.
De Amerikaan Benjamin Hotchkiss richt in 1867 een wapenfabriek op in de buurt van Parijs, in St.-Denis. De zaken gaan echter niet goed en in 1903 besluit hij auto’s te gaan bouwen. Het beeldmerk met de twee gekruiste kanonnen grijpt terug op de oorsprong van de fabriek. Deze AM 80 met drieliter zescilinder motor is de auto die de naam van Hotchkiss definitief vestigt als producent van verfijnde motoren die grote prestaties leveren. De gebalanceerde krukas is zevenmaal gelagerd en trillinggedempt. In gemodificeerde vorm wordt de AM 80 gehandhaafd totdat de personenautoproductie van Hotchkiss in 1955 stopt.
