Rembrandt exhibition having its debut at Detroit Institute of Arts
DETROIT (AP) -- A new exhibition at the Detroit Institute of Arts features many of Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn's finest paintings, prints and drawings that portray Jesus and events described in the Bible.
"Rembrandt and the Face of Jesus" runs through Feb. 12.
It contains 64 works, including 52 small, intimate paintings, prints and drawings by Rembrandt and his students that illustrate how he broke from traditional 17th century representations of Jesus.
Two masterpieces in the exhibition illustrate the significant shift in Rembrandt's approach.
They are "Supper at Emmaus," a painting of the biblical account of Jesus' appearance to his followers after his resurrection; and "The Hundred Guilder Print," which shows Jesus preaching before a crowd.
