The Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen’s holdings of Renaissance and Baroque painting in Rotterdam sit among the most significant surviving collections of pre-modern European art.

If you’re planning a visit, use this page as a starting list of the must-see paintings. If you’re researching from a desk, each painting page goes deeper than a museum label: the patron, the symbolism a 17th-century viewer would have recognised, the technique under the surface, and where the painting fits in Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen’s longer history.
