CMA's Rembrandt in America Opens 2.19

Rembrandt in America opens at the Cleveland Museum of Art this Sunday, Feb. 19th. The largest collection of the Dutch master's paintings assembled in America in a century, it is a comprehensive history of the painter's reception and interpretation in the States. It features one of Rembrandt's earliest finished works, 'The Operation (Touch),' dating to 1624, and represents a more colorful time in the artist's career, before chiaroscuro. One of the Amsterdam's most sought-after portrait painters, included are a number of important portraits from his early career and three of his most celebrated, painstakingly detailed self-portraits (one from 1659 is pictured.) 

Tickets for the exhibition are $14 for adults, $12 for seniors and students, and $7 for children five and older. The exhibition will run through May 28th. 11150 East Blvd. in University Circle. Visit clevelandart.org for more information.
