Rembrandt in His Time and Our Own

Speakers: Dr. Michael Zell (Boston University), Dr. Victor Tiribás (Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Harvard University), Dr. Claire Whitner (Worcester Art Museum)

What can Rembrandt’s art teach us about life in the Netherlands nearly 400 years ago? How does it reflect on our lives today? Rembrandt drew inspiration for many of his etchings from his surroundings. Join us after hours, and learn how his extensive body of work, now on view in Rembrandt: Etchings from the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, is being used by researchers today to understand life in 17th-century Europe and its implications for our lives today.
