For groups: guided tour Longing for Egmond
With an experienced guide the depths of how Egmond managed to enchant generations of artists
In the seventeenth century, artists such as Jacob van Ruysdael, Aelbert Cuyp and Jan van Goyen went to Egmond to capture the landscape, the sea, the famous ruins of the abbey and the castle. Two centuries later, George Hitchcock and Gari Melchers settled in the village. Their paintings, focusing on Egmond and its inhabitants, achieved worldwide success.
Stedelijk Museum Alkmaar pays tribute to Egmond - a village that inspired artists for centuries. For the first time, seventeenth- and nineteenth-century masterpieces are brought together in the region where they were created. The exhibition shows how this special place managed to enchant generations of artists - from the Dutch masters to the American painters who made Egmond internationally famous.
