The Dutch Masters Bentley Collection brings art and craftsmanship together in three unique Mulliner commissions inspired by Rembrandt, Vermeer and Van Gogh. Each bespoke model captures the colours, motifs and character of its master, shaping a rare blend of creativity and engineering.
Honouring Dutch artistic heritage
Mulliner unveiled the trio at the Rijksmuseum during an exclusive evening that gathered guests from Bentley Leusden, Bentley Rotterdam and Bentley Maastricht. The reveal combined virtual previews and a gala dinner set within the museum’s Gallery of Honour.
The three Continental GT models were displayed under the museum’s iconic works, linking the worlds of fine art and bespoke automotive design. Their palettes, textures and details echo the emotions and craftsmanship of the Dutch Golden Age.
Rembrandt’s dramatic vision
The Rembrandt-inspired Continental GT Convertible draws directly from The Night Watch. Its Midnight Emerald exterior contrasts with Magnolia and Cumbrian green hides, accented by Hotspur red details. Gold organ stops add a final touch of richness.
A feather motif animates the welcome lamp, referencing the lieutenant’s plume from the painting. The same pattern appears on door card panels, reinforcing the tribute’s subtle narrative.
Vermeer’s mastery of light
The Vermeer Continental GT adopts a Sapphire satin finish and a panoramic roof that mirrors the daylight of Delft. Its interior blends Beluga and Ocean blue hides, lifted with Citric yellow accents and Klein blue piping.
The Little Street inspired the cloud motif used for the door cards and welcome lamp. Piano Black fascia elements and a Klein blue bezel for the Bentley Rotating Display complete the serene yet vivid theme.
Van Gogh’s expressive palette
The Van Gogh Continental GT embraces bold contrasts with Dark Sapphire paint and Khamun yellow pinstriping. Its interior combines Imperial blue, Linen and Khamun, echoing the swirling tones of The Starry Night.
The welcome lamp projects a night sky animation, while etched door panels carry the painting’s characteristic movement. Gold knurled organ stops and a chiselled Walnut console add warmth and depth.
Artistry in the finer details
Each Dutch Masters Bentley includes a bespoke key box finished in matching hides. The inner lid carries laser-etched motifs representing feather, clouds or night sky, depending on the model.
All three cars feature Blackline specification, body coloured styling kits and Touring specification. Custom lighting, wellness seating and the Naim for Bentley sound system elevate the experience.
Performance and craftsmanship
Each Continental GT retains the model’s acclaimed performance balance, delivering strong power, refined handling and a grand touring character shaped by Mulliner’s craftsmanship.
Summary
The Dutch Masters Bentley Collection unites design, heritage and bespoke engineering in three memorable commissions. Their artistic references and intricate details show how Mulliner continues to expand the creative language of the Continental GT.
