No Dutch artist produced a larger number of important works than Rembrandt van Rijn, and none has provoked more debate among art historians. In this series of six lectures, John Walsh, B.A. 1961, Director Emeritus of the J. Paul Getty Museum, in Los Angeles, presents an overview of Rembrandt’s career. Each lecture explores a single picture, first focusing on its details, then on its context. The series is prompted by the yearlong loan by Rose-Marie and Eijk van Otterloo of Rembrandt’s Portrait of Aeltje Uylenburgh.

Few people stand in front of The Jewish Bride (Portrait of a Couple as Isaac and Rebecca; ca. 1665–69) for long and walk away unmoved. Examining this picture and other works that Rembrandt made in his last years, John Walsh, B.A. 1961, Director Emeritus of the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, shows how the artist combined expressive body language, rich color, broken paint, and exotic costumes to restage historical events and charge them with emotional weight. Generously sponsored by the Martin A. Ryerson Fund. Followed by a reception.
