Only one more week to view the critically acclaimed, “Rembrandt and the Face of Jesus,” at the Philadelphia Museum of Art before the exhibition moves to Detroit.
This is the first time in almost eighty years that the Museum has hosted an exhibition devoted to the work of Rembrandt. The exhibition examines this remarkable change through some 23 paintings, 29 drawings, and nine prints assembled from Europe and the United States. The exhibition is co-organized with the Musée du Louvre, Paris and with the Detroit Institute of Arts.
Included is a series of painted heads of Christ found in Rembrandt’s home and studio, reunited for the first time, and the newly restored Supper at Emmaus (Musée du Louvre, 1648), a mid career masterworkwhich has not been seen in the United States since 1936. The National Gallery in London will also send to the United States for the first time the major painting, Christ and the Woman Taken into Adultery (1644). In addition, many selected drawings that will be coming to Philadelphia have rarely been exhibited or loaned.
Exhibit closes October 30
