Drawings by Rembrandt and His Pupils: Telling the Difference
Through February 28, 2010
The Getty Center
Scores of unsigned drawings were found in Rembrandt's studio after his death. How do we know who made them?
Scholars have long struggled to distinguish drawings by Rembrandt's students—many of which rival his in beauty and execution—from those of the master himself. Inspired by recent breakthroughs in art historical scholarship, this exhibition tells this fascinating story and invites you to try your skills at deciphering the subtle but essential differences that separate Rembrandt from his talented pupils.
"A magnificent show." —Los Angeles Times
