| Web: | http://www.wadsworthatheneum.org/do/rembrandt.php | |
| Description: | For the next two years, the Wadsworth Atheneum is planning a series of small-scale dossier exhibitions inspired by works in its permanent collection and Rembrandt’s People will debut this series. The exhibition focuses on the artist Rembrandt van Rijn, Holland’s greatest seventeenth century painter. In the 1960s, the Atheneum acquired two paintings attributed to Rembrandt, a supposed Portrait of Saskia and Portrait of Titus. Although published at the time with much fanfare, both works have over time come to be identified as products of the Rembrandt shop. |
