Rembrandt
and the Dutch Republic
NCR Renaissance Auditorium
Dr.
Arthur Wheelock, curator of Northern Baroque Painting at the National
Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is an expert on seventeenth-century
Dutch and Flemish art. Join us for a discussion on how Rembrandt's paintings,
prints and drawings reflect not only Dutch optimism and pride in the land
and its people, but the spiritual essence and moral complexity of life,
as is apparent in his painted portraits and depictions of stories from
the Bible and mythology.
Among the exhibitions Professor Wheelock has organized for the National Gallery are: Gods, Saints and Heroes: Dutch Painting in the Age of Rembrandt; Dutch Painting of the Golden Age from the Royal Picture Gallery, Mauritshuis; Frans Hals, Anthony Van Dyck, Johannes Vermeer, and Jan Steen: Painter and Storyteller.
