Mauritshuis

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Mauritshuis 

a palace in The Hague, on Hofvijver; 17th-century Dutch architectural monument and a museum (Royal Picture Gallery). The Mauritshuis is a model of Dutch classicism. It was built for Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange, from 1633 to 1635 by the architect P. Post, who used the plan of Jan van Campen. The museum, which opened in 1820, developed around the picture collection of William V of Orange. The small yet very select Mauritshuis collection contains works of the Dutch school (Rembrandt, J. Vermeer), the Netherlandish school (Rogier van der Weyden, H. Memling), and the Flemish school (P. P. Rubens, J. Jordaens).

The National Gallery's Dutch Portraits (London until 16 September; then Mauritshuis, The Hague, 13 October-13 January 2008) arouses justified foreboding, in spite of the presence of five Rembrandts not already in the National Gallery and not of Saskia in fancy dress.

In the Mauritshuis art museum in The Hague, for instance, several thoroughly restored Rembrandts were proudly on show, together with reports on, and a video of, the cleaning processes that the paintings had undergone.
