(Crewe, 4 December 2025) Three one-off Bentleys, inspired by the masterpieces of Rembrandt, Van Gogh, and Vermeer, were the centrepiece of a unique event at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Mulliner’s Dutch Masters Collection, is a tribute to craftsmanship, timeless elegance, and the rich heritage of Dutch art.

Over 200 guests from Bentley Leusden, Bentley Rotterdam, and Bentley Maastricht enjoyed a virtual preview of the three Mulliner Bentleys, followed by a magical dinner in the museum’s Gallery of Honour. Mulliner’s ‘Rembrandt’ Continental GT Convertible, ‘Vermeer’ Continental GT and ‘Van Gogh’ Continental GT each capture the colour palettes and motifs of their respective Dutch master, translating their artistic vision into the world of Bentley. 

Dutch Masters Collection Car 01: Inspired by Rembrandt

Rembrandt’s 1642 masterpiece known as The Night Watch was the inspiration for the first of Mulliner’s Dutch Masters commissions, a Continental GT Convertible in Midnight Emerald. The red sash of Captain Frans Banninck Cocq, the painting’s central figure, is echoed in the interior’s flashes of Hotspur red accent hide, while the colour of his lieutenant’s coat inspired Mulliner’s choice of Magnolia for the main hide, which contrasts beautifully with a secondary hide of Cumbrian green. The Piano finish fascia and waistrails are matched to Cumbrian green, punctuated with a flash of opulent gold for the air vent organ stops.     

Upon opening the door at night, the illuminated welcome lamp projects an animation of a feather, a playful reference to the plume on the lieutenant’s hat in the centre of the canvas. The front and rear door card panels carry the feather motif, while the treadplate and front fenders both carry the Dutch Masters Collection nameplate. 

Dutch Masters Collection Car 02: inspired by Vermeer

Johannes Vermeer is considered one of the greatest painters of the Dutch Golden Age. His interiors are suffused with the cold, clear daylight of his home city of Delft, and Mulliner’s design team used the brilliance of his blues and yellows as the foundation for their Continental GT in Sapphire satin finish. Fittingly for an artist who created such light-filled interiors, Mulliner specified a panoramic sunroof. The interior’s colour palette of Beluga and Ocean blue hide is lifted by the presence of Citric yellow as an accent colour, and by contrast seat piping in vivid Klein blue. For the door cards and welcome lamp animation, Mulliner’s design team chose the billowing cloud formation from Vermeer’s 1658 masterpiece The Little Street. The fascia and waistrails are executed in Piano Black finish, while the many unique highlights of this co-creation include the painted inner accent ring and knurled bezel of the Bentley Rotating Display in Klein blue. 

Dutch Masters Collection Car 03: inspired by Van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh’s art was shunned during his lifetime, but his Post-Impressionist canvasses – many of them inspired by the relentless heat of Provence – are now among the most valuable in the world. Mulliner’s third Dutch Masters edition, a Continental GT in Dark Sapphire with Khamun yellow pinstriping, takes a palette of Imperial blue, Dark Sapphire, Linen and Khamun to evoke the artist’s unique vision. One of his best-known works, The Starry Night, inspired both the colours and the visual motif of Mulliner’s Continental GT, with the swirling pattern of the night sky and yellow moon reproduced in the welcome lamp animation and bespoke etched door card panels. The dual finish Piano Linen veneer of the fascia and waistrails is bisected by a painted pinstripe matched to the exterior’s Dark Sapphire. Van Gogh’s use of Indian yellow for the stars in the night sky finds its counterpart in the Bentley’s Khamun accent hide, embroidered Bentley emblems, and contrast stitching. Other bespoke highlights include a centre console in open pore chiselled Walnut and knurled air vent organ stops in gold.  

A fusion of art and craft 

Each of the Mulliner Bentleys in the Dutch Masters Collection comes with a bespoke presentation key box, crafted in the hide colours of their corresponding vehicle. In each case, the box’s laser-etched inner lid displays the individual artist motifs – feather, clouds or night sky. All three models feature Blackline specification, Touring specification and body coloured styling kit, giving their exteriors an air of understated elegance. Wellness seating, mood lighting, diamond knurling, the Bentley rotating display and a Naim for Bentley sound system complete their specification.
