Exhibition: Rembrandt’s Late Pupils - Studying under a Genius
From 12 February to 17 May 2015 the Rembrandt House Museum is devoting an exhibition to the pupils Rembrandt trained during the last stage of his career, from around 1650 until his death in 1669. It is the first in a series of exhibitions centred on art education. The relationship between these pupils and their teacher will emerge from some ninety paintings, drawings and prints by Nicolaes Maes, Willem Drost, Abraham van Dijck, Jacobus Leveck, Heyman Dullaert, Arent de Gelder and others, seen alongside some of Rembrandt’s works. The composition sketches on display are illustrative of Rembrandt’s training. Rembrandt’s Late Pupils: Studying under a Genius is the first in a series of exhibitions focusing on art education that the Rembrandt House Museum will be staging. Traditionally the artist’s trade was passed on from master to pupil. This close relationship enabled art to flourish. Rembrandt’s Late Pupils: Studying under a Genius runs in parallel with the Late Rembrandt exhibition in the Rijksmuseum and is the result of collaboration between the two museums.
