Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum will mark the 350th anniversary of Rembrandt's death next year with a major exhibition of the painter's works, drawn from its own collection.
The show, which will run from February through June, will be followed by a restoration in place of the museum's Rembrandt centerpiece, The Night Watch, in a process that will take place in full view of the public.
The museum calls the exhibition a ‘once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to glean an unparalleled perspective on Rembrandt the artist, the human, the storyteller and the innovator.’ It will include a months-long series of lectures, workshops and other events.
No other museum has as many Rembrandt paintings; there are 22 at the Rijksmuseum, and a total of 20 at the next two museums. Also on display will be 60 drawings and more than 300 prints.
