In Rembrandt's Footsteps Dutch Paintings from a Private Collection

Oct 01, 2011 - Jan 08, 2012
Alongside paintings by Rembrandt and his earliest colleague, Jan Lievens, there are works by Rembrandt’s pupils, among them Gerbrand van den Eeckhout, Aert de Gelder, Govert Flinck and Nicolaes Maes, and by his predecessors Pieter Lastman and Jacob Pynas. We can see Bader’s liking for power and drama in paintings by Jacob van Ruisdael, Michiel Sweerts, Jacob van Campen and many others. A great many of the works have Biblical or mythological subjects. The portrait is well represented and there are some splendid landscapes. The exhibition is a unique opportunity to see Rembrandt, his school and his well-known contemporaries through the eyes of a collector whose love of art was ignited by the work of Rembrandt – the greatest painter of the Golden Age.
