Impuls Rembrandt. Lehrer, Stratege, Bestseller

In the organizer's words:

OPENING ON 02.10.2024

The MdbK presents Rembrandt, one of the most influential artists of the Baroque period, and provides an insight into one of the largest workshops of his time. The exhibition Impuls Rembrandt shows around 150 paintings, drawings and etchings by Rembrandt and his pupils. It draws attention to the artist's work and his ability to pass on the peculiarities of his painting style while at the same time encouraging the artistic individuality of his pupils. Between 1625 and 1665, Rembrandt attracted more young artistic talent from Holland and Europe to Amsterdam than any other painter. By imitating his style, they contributed to the artist's fame and the establishment of the Rembrandt "brand".

In six chapters, Impulse Rembrandt deals with central aspects of his art and his teaching. In the Rembrandt Studio creative space, visitors can draw, copy or experiment with light and shadow.

The book is divided into six chapters that deal with central aspects of Rembrandt's art and his teaching - Rembrandt as a picture director | In the studio. Between artistic training and self-representation | The discovery of the face | Between tronie and portrait | Emotion and humanity in everyday life | Rembrandt and his collectors. With international loans from museums in New York, Paris, Amsterdam, The Hague, London, Stockholm and Vienna as well as from German museums and private collections in Munich, Hamburg, Berlin, Frankfurt (Main), Bremen and Dresden, among others, the exhibition presents a total of 142 paintings, drawings and etchings, including around 60 works by Rembrandt.
