CSP – Reality and Imagination: Rembrandt and the Jews in the Dutch Republic
Join curator Simona Di Nepi and co-curator Prof Michael Zell for a virtual tour of the exhibition Rembrandt and the Jews in the Dutch Republic currently on view at MFA Boston. In the 17th century, Jews played a critical role in the vibrant visual culture of the Dutch Republic, as patrons, collectors, and subjects of art, particularly in the work of Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669) and his circle. Living in the heart of Amsterdam’s Jewish district, Rembrandt received commissions from his Jewish neighbors, incorporated them into biblical scenes, and depicted them in character studies.
