Exhibition Screening: Rembrandt (1936)

Rembrandt (1936). Directed by Alexander Korda, 1 hr. 25 min., biography/drama, NR

Beginning when Rembrandt’s reputation was at its height, the film tracks his quiet descent into loneliness and isolated self-expression following the death of his wife, the unveiling of his painting The Night Watch, and the ecclesiastical excommunication of his maid and lover Hendrickje Stoffels.

The screening is preceded by an introduction to the exhibition The Book of Esther in the Age of Rembrandt by Michele Frederick, curator of European art and provenance.
