For all those feeling deficient in the Northern European Renaissance this winter, The Morgan Library and Museum will be providing a dose of Dutch Masters that’s sure to get your art historical spirits up.
Rembrandt van Rijn will be chilling with some of his 16th century homies from Holland’s Golden Age until April 29 in an exhibition titled Rembrandt’s World: Dutch Drawings from the Clements C. Moore Collection. The works of this private collection, assembled over the past two decades, have never before been exhibited together.
These guys had Flanders on aesthetic lock down - whether they dealt in landscape, marine views, pastoral and genre scenes, or portraiture, Rembrandt and his artist compatriots had their homeland dangling at their painterly fingertips. In short, if painting were hip hop and Renaissance Holland were New York, Rembrandt would be what some people might refer to as "a G."
