The first major exhibition to explore in depth the collecting of Rembrandt paintings in America. Consisting of approximately fifty works, the exhibition will bring together autograph paintings by Rembrandt as well as others thought to be by the artist when they entered American collections but whose attributions can no longer be maintained.
The Morgan Library & Museum has the largest and finest collection of Rembrandt prints in the country. The nearly 500 impressions survey the artist’s career as a printmaker from about 1626 to about 1661, during which time he executed some 290 plates. The Cleveland Museum of Art will exhibit a large group of these works, all of which demonstrate that Rembrandt was not only a gifted painter and superb draftsman but also an extremely experimental and original printmaker.
