This major exhibition in Oxford will be the first in the UK to explore the early years of the career of the most famous of all Dutch artists, Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669).
Beginning with his earliest known paintings, prints and drawings, made in his native Leiden in the mid-1620s, and ending the moment he rockets to stardom in Amsterdam in the mid 1630s, this exhibition will chart an astonishing transformation.
On display will be the largest collection of works devoted to the young Rembrandt to date, including 34 paintings by Rembrandt, 10 by his most important contemporaries, and a further 90 drawings and prints from international and private collections. It will also feature the newly discovered Let the Little Children Come to Me (1627-8), on display for the first time in public.
This tour includes a special pre-exhibition lecture for the Friends in the Headley Lecture Theatre with coffee, tea and pastries provided. Entrance to the Rembrandt exhibition and Ashmolean collections is also included.
Lunch may be taken at the Ashmolean or in the town at your leisure.
