ART 330 - Rembrandt Van Rijn: His Paintings and Graphic works

Institution:

Catholic University of America

Subject:

Art

Description:

Enlightened entrepreneur, bankrupted spendthrift, brilliant teacher, grumpy curmudgeon, loving husband and father, and artistic genius -- Rembrandt's life reveals a man whose character was as complex and dramatic as his massive oeuvre. This course will explore the life and work of the most celebrated artist of the Dutch Golden Age. In-depth analyses of paintings, engravings, etchings, and drawings will be supplemented by close readings of art historical scholarship with an emphasis on the methods used to understand contemporaneous Dutch art. The exemplary collection of Rembrandt's work in the National Gallery of Art will serve as a vital resource.
