This page lists painters in the Rijksmuseum collection, showing how many works each artist has and sorting the list by their birth century. The collection holds more than 3,000 paintings, with over 300 works by unknown or anonymous artists and more than 1,000 artists represented (many by only one work). Highlights include very old pieces such as former Amsterdam church altarpieces and large works by Pieter Aertsen, Rembrandt, Nicolaes Maes, and Bartholomeus van der Helst. Most artists were born in the 16th or 17th centuries. Only 24 women are represented, including Judith Leyster, Gesina ter Borch, Catharina van Hemessen, and Rachel Ruysch.
