Winter is an Etching

Dec 13, 2013 - May 19, 2014
During Rembrandt’s lifetime, it was his etchings, not his paintings, which were at the root of his international reputation. Today, his canvases are more celebrated, but there is no doubt that the expressive potential that he found in the printed line is extraordinary, and has been inspirational to generations of artists. This exhibition brings together the work of Rembrandt, his contemporaries and some of his printmaking heirs, all from the collection of the AGGV.
