47 works across 7 institutions
London holds 47 works by Rembrandt across 7 institutions, including National Gallery, British Museum, and 5 other venues.
Rembrandt's handling of light and shadow is the great achievement of Northern European painting, and it is above all a physical achievement — thick impasto highlights built up from layers of glaze, darkness that seems to breathe. Standing in front of a major Rembrandt self-portrait is one of the defining experiences of looking at Western art.
