Three one-off Bentleys pay tribute to "immortal artists"

Mulliner, Bentley's bespoke arm, has unveiled its Dutch Masters Collection, said to be a tribute to craftmanship, timeless elegance, and the rich heritage of Dutch art. The collection contains three one-off Bentleys inspired by the masterpieces of Rembrandt, Van Gogh, and Vermeer.

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 interior features Magnolia for its main hide and flashes of Hotspur red accent 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.

The "Vermeer" Continental GT features a Sapphire satin finish

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.

As for the "Vermeer" Continental GT, it was inspired by the billowing cloud formation from his 1658 masterpiece, The Little Street, and features a Sapphire satin finish and an interior colour palette of Beluga and Ocean blue hide with accents of Citric yellow. Fittingly, for an artist who created such light-filled interiors, the "Vermeer" Continental GT features a panoramic sunroof.

Highlights of this co-creation include the painted inner accent ring and knurled bezel of the Bentley Rotating Display in Klein Blue

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 ktnurled bezel of the Bentley Rotating Display in Klein blue.

And finally, the "Van Gogh" Continental GT is inspired by perhaps one of his best-known works: The Starry Night. As such, this car is cloaked in Dark Sapphire with Khamun yellow pinstriping. The painting also inspired the car's visual motif, with the swirling pattern of the night sky and yellow moon reproduced in the welcome lamp animation and bespoke etched door card panels.

Each of the Bentley models in the Dutch Masters Collection will come with a bespoke presentation key box

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 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.

Each of these 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.
