Dutch Masters Collection: three one-off Bentleys by Mulliner

Bentley Mulliner has unveiled the Dutch Masters Collection, three one-off cars created as a tribute to three artists whose work has become inseparable from the visual identity of Dutch art: Rembrandt, Vermeer and Van Gogh. The collection debuted in Amsterdam during a private evening at the Rijksmuseum, where the setting and the chosen motifs made the intent clear: this is less a conventional special edition and more an attempt to translate painting into colour, materials and light.

At the heart of the project are three distinct one-off Bentleys, each built around a specific artistic reference. The Rembrandt-inspired commission is a Continental GT Convertible finished in Midnight Emerald and shaped by echoes of The Night Watch (1642): contrasting interior accents mirror details from the canvas, while an animated welcome lamp projection brings a feather motif to life at night—an allusion to the plume seen in the artwork. The same symbol appears across interior elements, and Dutch Masters Collection nameplates mark the treadplates and front fenders.

The second car turns to Vermeer, using light as its guiding theme. A Continental GT in Sapphire satin finish is specified with a panoramic sunroof, while the cabin’s blue-and-yellow palette and accent choices follow the idea of Delft’s clear daylight often associated with the painter’s interiors. For the door cards and welcome lamp animation, Mulliner selected billowing clouds from Vermeer’s The Little Street (c. 1658), a calm street scene that fits the collection’s quieter, more restrained sense of luxury.

The third commission draws on Van Gogh and The Starry Night (1889). A Continental GT in Dark Sapphire with Khamun yellow pinstriping uses blue-and-yellow contrasts to frame an unmistakable visual cue: the swirling night sky and moon reimagined through the animated welcome lamp and bespoke detailing. Inside, the theme is reinforced through contrast stitching and a set of tailored finishes that give this car the most emotionally charged character of the three.

Linking all three cars is the animated welcome lamp projection, used here as more than a flourish. Feather, clouds and night sky function as concise visual signatures—each one a quick, recognisable marker for its artist. The idea carries through to bespoke presentation key boxes crafted in the hide colours of each vehicle, with laser-etched motifs on the inner lid.

The reveal was staged as an evening in the Rijksmuseum’s Gallery of Honour, attended by more than 200 guests invited through Bentley Leusden, Bentley Rotterdam and Bentley Maastricht. After a virtual preview, the gala dinner placed the cars directly within a setting that is synonymous with Dutch masterworks, underscoring the collection’s connection to the country’s artistic heritage.

All three cars share Blackline specification, Touring specification and a body-coloured styling kit, alongside comfort and technology features including wellness seating, mood lighting, the Bentley Rotating Display and a Naim for Bentley sound system. In this form, the Dutch Masters Collection reads as a statement about where Mulliner is pushing personalisation: not simply toward rare materials, but toward coherent cultural storytelling—crafted to appear in the smallest ritual, right down to the light that greets you when the door opens.
