Rembrandt - Hoogstraten

For the first time, the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna is devoting an exhibition to the great Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn. Fascinating dialogues between the works of Rembrandt and Samuel van Hoogstraten will capture the visitors attention. Hoogstraten,one of his most talented pupils, moved from Amsterdam to Vienna, where he was successful at the Habsburg court.

One of the central themes of the exhibition is the examination of the powerful effect of color and the magnificent illusionist techniques by means of which Rembrandt and Hoogstraten were able to create virtual realities in their paintings.

Showing around 50 paintings and drawings, the exhibition will shed new light on the masterpieces of the Dutch Golden Age.
