Rijks, Masters of the Golden Age by Marcel Wanders (Special Edition)

Following the resounding success of both the limited and unlimited editions of 'Rijks, Masters of the Golden Age', the Rijksmuseum and renowned designer Marcel Wanders are once again joining forces for a special Special Edition.

This book is more than just an art book. It is a visual journey back to the Dutch Golden Age, focusing on over 64 iconic paintings from the Gallery of Honour at the Rijksmuseum. Every detail has been meticulously crafted: from the hand-written calligraphy to the luxurious, high-quality paper and advanced printing techniques.

What truly sets the photobook 'Rijks, Masters of the Golden Age' apart is the unique perspective offered by contemporary progressive thinkers. Renowned artists and creatives such as photographer Erwin Olaf, designer David Allen, fashion icon Angela Missoni, and documentary filmmaker Jimmy Nelson provide stimulating perspectives and contemporary reflections on the artworks.

In terms of physical presentation, this Special Edition aligns with the limited edition – with a special accent. The book is divided into two soft covers that are presented together in an elegant hardcover slipcase. A design that both honors tradition and dares to be innovative.

It is more than a book. It is a tribute to Dutch art history, a visual spectacle that brings 17th-century masters to life in a contemporary, surprising way.
