Reality and Imagination: Rembrandt and the Jews in the Dutch Republic
Hosted By: Orange County Jewish Community Scholar Program ("CSP")
The Community Scholar Program presents a virtual tour of “Rembrandt and the Jews in the Dutch Republic,” currently on view at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, led by curator Simona Di Nepi and co-curator Professor Michael Zell. The exhibition examines the critical role Jews played in the vibrant visual culture of the 17th-century Dutch Republic as patrons, collectors, and subjects of art, particularly in the work of Rembrandt van Rijn and his circle. Living in the heart of Amsterdam’s Jewish district, Rembrandt received commissions from his Jewish neighbors, incorporated them into biblical scenes, and depicted them in character studies.
