Take time to slow down and deeply observe works of art through a contemplation practice. This facilitated experience will allow for relaxation and new insights to arise. Explore The Rembrandt and Company Exhibition with Shannon Brown, Program Coordinator for The Agnes Etherington Art Centre.
Rembrandt and Company Exhibition features both familiar favorites and exciting recent acquisitions, including a touching portrait of Rembrandt’s late-life partner, Hendrickje Stoffels, by his student Jacobus Leveck. Bringing focus to the artistic context in which Rembrandt created the mysterious Man with Arms Akimbo, we explore the diverse accomplishments of artists in Rembrandt’s adopted city of Amsterdam and elsewhere in the Dutch Republic. Bringing Rembrandt’s work together with stellar paintings by rivals as well as acolytes, this exhibition celebrates creative diversity and entrepreneurship at a singular moment in the history of European art.
