Rembrandt and His School: Masterworks From the Frick and Lugt Collections February 19, 2011

When Henry Clay Frick (1849-1919) was asked whose talents he would most like to possess, he declared: "Rembrandt's." Like Frick, the Dutch art historian Frederik Johannes Lugt (1884-1970) was a great admirer and collector of works by the Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669); as a teenager he wrote a biography of the artist, illustrated with his own copies after Rembrandt's most famous works. The Frick presents a selection of Rembrandt's works as seen through the eyes of these two renowned collectors, devoting three exhibition spaces to the work of this artist and his school.
