The Leiden Collection

The Leiden Collection, founded in 2003 by American collectors Dr. Thomas S. Kaplan and his wife Daphne Recanati Kaplan, contains approximately 250 paintings and drawings and is one of the largest and most important collections of 17th-century Dutch paintings in private hands. The collection is named after Rembrandtโ€™s hometown in honor of the masterโ€™s transcendence and focuses on works by Rembrandt and his followers. It highlights the personalities and themes that shaped the 17th century over five generations.

The collection is the most comprehensive representation of the Leiden artists known as โ€œfine paintersโ€. They focused on painting portraits, tronies (character studies), genre scenes and history paintings.
