Late Rembrandt - the biblical works
From 12 February 2015 to 17 May 2015 the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam will show an impressive collection of art made by the Dutch master Rembrandt (1606 - 1669). The Late Rembrandt exhibition focuses on the last twenty years of Rembrandt's life, when he had to deal with professional and personal hardship.
Some 40 paintings, 20 drawings and 30 prints will be on display. The museum calls it an "exhibition of a lifetime". The selection was made in collaboration with the National Gallery in London, where the exhibition ran last year.
The Bible was one of Rembrandt's main sources of inspiration and for subjects, as we've written here. More than thirty of the exhibited works have a biblical subject. We've listed them below.
