Draw Rembrandts shell
Typically Dutch – that’s how Rembrandt and his works of art are often seen. But make no mistake, a lot of the world can be seen in his etchings, like lions, shells, turbans, mountains and Italian buildings. In the exhibition Rembrandt & the world you will travel through over forty etchings by Rembrandt, all from the collection of the Rembrandt House Museum. Etchings which all show something non-Dutch. Discover how worldly (or insular) Rembrandt was.
In the first room, you can go to work yourself. You will find some exotic shells like Rembrandt has drawn, and drawing materials. And a few practical drawing instructions! Make a drawing of Rembrandt’s shell, or something else that reminds you of the big wide world.
