400 years after his birth, Amsterdam is throwing Rembrandt a party. Events will be held throughout the year. “All the Rembrandts” from the Rijksmuseum’s extensive collection will be exhibited through out the year: “All the Paintings” in Jan-Feb, and “All the Drawings” parts I & II in the summer and fall. There will also be a musical in the summer and various tours throughout the year.
And Caravaggio!! A combined Rembrandt-Caravaggio show will be at the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum, February 24 through June 18. Wow! What a show!
And get this. Have you ever heard of Rembrandt referred to as Jewish? A show will be dedicated to this debate, put on by the Jewish Historical Museum of Amsterdam. Interesting.
The Rembrandt 400 website has research tools re: Rembrandt’s life and times and corresponding 2006 events.
I’m thinking Holland sounds mighty inviting in the new year.
