Rembrandt Leaving Cleveland

Rembrandt in America—the first major exhibition to explore in depth the collecting history of Rembrandt van Rijn paintings in America—closes today at The Cleveland Museum of Art.

“Consisting of over 50 works, the exhibition brings together autograph works by Rembrandt, as well as others thought to be by the artist when they entered American collections, but whose attributions can no longer be maintained… The exhibition and its accompanying catalogue explore the often-controversial issues of collecting and connoisseurship, with a focus on individual paintings where these two related topics intersect.”
