The Kremer Collection is a growing, living creation;  literally a 'piece of art' that continues to develop since the first purchase of George Kremer in 1994. Acquisitions are still made on a regular basis, after which the paintings undergo extensive research and sometimes restoration. They are then added to the official collection, which we continue to share via an active external loans program as well as our Museum. We very much like to share our love and passion for these paintings and show the public why we believe these works are exciting, beautiful art that played an essential role in the development of western art. All the great masters of Realism and Impressionism and all who came after them were influenced by the Dutch and Flemish masters. The collection contains masterpieces by great masters such as Gerrit Dou, Pieter de Hooch, Frans Hals,  Jan Lievens, Rembrandt, Michael Sweerts & Gerrit van Honthorst, It also includes very interesting works by lesser known masters who deserve a larger audience such as Adriaen Hanneman, Abraham Bloemaert, Abraham Janssens, Theodoor Rombouts, Jan Baptist Weenix, Emanuel de Witte, Ludolf Backhuizen and many more.
