The world celebrates Rembrandt

July 15, 2006 by Neville Hobson 

Living in Amsterdam, it's hard to avoid exposure to Rembrandt, the renowned artist and paradigm of the Dutch Golden Age of the 17th century. Impossible to avoid today as it is the 400th anniversary of the birth of the Dutch master - 15 July 1606 - whose full name is Rembrandt van Rijn. Celebration events are taking place in museums and other locations worldwide, far beyond Holland's borders. CODART, the worldwide network of museum curators of Dutch and Flemish art, is tracking all events, 85 … [Read more...] about The world celebrates Rembrandt
