I failed to spot that the Rembrandt huis in Amsterdam opened an exhibition over the summer entitled Rembrandt & the World. It will run until 13th October 2024.
Here's the rather enticing blurb found on the museum's website:
Typically Dutch – that’s how many people see Rembrandt and his work. Unlike many artists of his era, Rembrandt never travelled abroad. But make no mistake. A lot of the world is reflected in his etchings, from lions, exotic shells and turbans, to mountainous landscapes and Italian buildings.
The Rembrandt & the world exhibition will take you on a journey past more than forty of Rembrandt’s etchings from the Rembrandt House Museum collection, etchings that always reveal something that is not typically Dutch. Discover where Rembrandt got his knowledge and inspiration, and how worldly-wise (or unworldly?) he really was.
