ARTH 21.03 Rembrandt

Rembrandt van Rijn was Holland’s preeminent artist in the seventeenth century. This course considers Rembrandt’s extraordinary achievements as an etcher, focusing especially on the artist’s highly imaginative and experimental use of the etching medium, the broad range of subjects and expressive power of the prints, as well as the functions the prints served in Rembrandt’s time. All our classes will make use of the Hood Museum's superb collection of Rembrandt prints, thus allowing students to do first-hand study of the artist's original works.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
