Rembrandt needs little introduction. Widely regarded as one of the world’s most influential artists, and counted among the school of old masters, the Dutchman was incredibly prolific in a number of styles and mediums, producing more than 300 paintings, 300 etchings and 2,000 drawings over four decades.
The National Gallery of Victoria’s new exhibition, Rembrandt: True to Life, is a thoughtful and intimate study of a vast oeuvre, providing insights into the artist’s tumultuous personal life and curious mind.
