Rembrandt in America, organized by The Cleveland Museum of Art (USA), is the first major exhibition to explore in depth the collecting history of Rembrandt paintings in America. Consisting of over 50 works, the exhibition brings together autograph works by Rembrandt as well as others thought to be by the artist when they entered American collections but whose attributions can no longer be maintained.
The exhibition therefore surveys the long career of Rembrandt as a painter, including his studio and a broader network of adapters, followers, and copyists.
While many exhibitions devoted to Rembrandt's paintings took place during the 400-year centenary of the artist's birth in 2006, Rembrandt in America offers the public the opportunity to examine the evolving opinions and methods of scholars and collectors regarding what constituted an autograph Rembrandt painting over a period of more than a century.
