Deventer masterpieces

Semi-permanent set-up

The historical collection of Deventer has several masterpieces of national and even international fame. For the first time in years, these masterpieces have been brought together.

On the first floor, you will find famous 17th-century masters such as Gerard ter Borch II and Hendrick ter Brugghen. From later times, there are works by Cornelis Springer, as well as by Deventer-born master forger Han van Meegeren.

Thanks to Vereniging de Waag, Vereniging Rembrandt and individuals, the collection is still being enriched with new pieces. Among the masterpieces, for example, you will also find some recent acquisitions by Deventer-born painter Bartholomeus Breenbergh.

The Four Evangelists

The Four Evangelists were painted by Hendrick ter Brugghen in 1621. Curator Anne van Geuns explains what makes this quartet so special.
