The commentary
To celebrate Amsterdam’s 750th birthday, eighteen works by Rembrandt—seventeen paintings and one drawing—are shown together in the city for the first time.
Other renowned artists in the exhibition include Frans Hals, Jan Steen, Ferdinand Bol, Gerard Dou, and Frans van Mieris. Not to be missed is the only painting in private hands by Johannes Vermeer, conserved especially for this occasion. Together, these influential artists paint a vivid picture of daily life in the Netherlands in the 1600s.
Rembrandt’s record was set in 2009, when the painting Portrait of a Man with Arms Akimbo (1658) was sold for $33.2 million.
