Rembrandt's lifework-his eventful artistic journey-undergoes ceaseless evolution. He was possessed by a consuming interest in the world around him and an acute perception of human nature. As an artist who excelled equally as a painter, draftsman, and printmaker, he had few rivals then or now. This exhibition takes the groundbreaking step of examining Rembrandt's most expressive etchings in the context of his paintings and drawings. It appeals on many levels: the superlative quality of the works on view, the illuminating insight into the artist's inventive use of technique, and the transporting character of the art itself, whether penetrating self-portraits, moving biblical narratives, fresh visions of the native Dutch landscape, earthy scenes of low comedy, or sensuous nudes. An ambitious in-depth survey featuring major international loans, "Rembrandt's Journey" consists of 23 paintings and oil sketches, 35 drawings, and 160 etchings and copper etching plates. Over two-thirds of the works are borrowed from collections public and private in Amsterdam, Berlin, Chicago, Los Angeles, Moscow, New York, Paris, St. Petersburg, and Washington, D.C.
