The Exhibition
In the exhibition, young art experts provide exciting insights into Rembrandt’s Amsterdam.
The exhibition is open until 1.00 am.
Wealth and poverty, happiness and ruin, power and powerlessness: the Städel Museum takes an unvarnished look at the social reality of Amsterdam society in the 17th century. Experience Amsterdam on the Main with important works by Rembrandt and his contemporaries.
Amsterdam—one city with many faces. In the 17th century, Amsterdam was the metropolis in Europe. The economy and trade were booming, the population rapidly increased, and the arts and sciences flourished. An influential civic society shaped the city’s fortunes and glorified itself in splendid group portraits made by the greatest Dutch painters of the age, foremost among them Rembrandt, alongside Jacob Backer, Ferdinand Bol, Govert Flinck, Bartholomeus van der Helst, Nicolaes Eliasz. Pickenoy, and Jan Victors. But Amsterdam’s prosperity came at a price, rooted in colonialist trade policies and a strict social order. The Städel Museum looks back on a supposedly “Golden Age” and, in cooperation with the Amsterdam Museum, presents the portrait art of the Rembrandt period in a major exhibition.
