Exhibition

New Gallery

Although Rembrandt is one of the most studied artists of the 17th century, many aspects of his work remain obscure. This also applies to the period around 1632, which is characterised by both stylistic and biographical upheavals: Rembrandt moved from Leiden to Amsterdam and joined the workshop of Hendrick van Uylenburgh, where he produced a significant number of individual and group portraits and opened up new circles of buyers. The artist explored various genres of painting and experimented with different stylistic devices, which illustrate his search for suitable forms of expression.

The exhibition takes a focussed look at the works from 1632 and examines their development, variants and copies in order to investigate various stylistic features, workshop processes and the function of individual paintings in more detail. The exhibition is being created in cooperation with the Friedenstein Foundation in Gotha, where it will subsequently be on display in the Ducal Museum (6 September - 6 December 2026).
