Recent research on the life and work of Rembrandt have forced us to abandon our image of him as a solitary genius. For this reason, this exhibition presents twenty of Rembrandt’s paintings and thirty of his drawings as the nucleus of a broader presentation including works by his pupils and contemporaries. Finally we are beginning to attribute some of his talent to influences such as his teachers, students, and contemporaries, as well as the age in which he lived. Also, it is only natural that the Dutch 17th century, headed by Rembrandt, should play such a prominent part in Nationalmuseum’s bicentenary celebrations, considering the extent of their collections from that age and region, greatly due to Gustav III’s Francophile orientation. Participate in this wondrous display of talent in the age of Rembrandt and grant his contemporaries the attention they rightly deserve. Extensive captions in Swedish only.
