Rembrandt and the Dutch Golden Age

About this event

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606-1669) is one of the most important masters of the Dutch Golden Age. Art historian Joseph Paul Cassar presents a chronological framework for studying Rembrandt's vast output: the Leden Period, his time as a young, ambitious prodigy in his hometown; the First Amsterdam Period, his early success as a portraitist; the Second Amsterdam Period, the height of his societal and financial peak culminating in his famous work The Night Watch; the Third Amsterdam Period, his years of hardship and more introspective work; and the Fourth Amsterdam Period, his poignant final years. Special attention is given to masterpieces such as The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp, Danaë, and The Night Watch in addition to his series of commissioned portraits. Cassar discusses Rembrandt's works within the historical context of the time, outlining his legacy in painting, drawing, and etching.
