Rembrandt and his Pupils: Getty
Throughout his career, Rembrandt took on a select group of students and taught them the techniques that he had spent his life perfecting. Because of the numerous works born in the academic environment that he created, many of the works are today disputed over whether the works came from Rembrandt or from one of the students, influenced by his style.
That is exactly what the show titled Rembrandt and his Pupils showing at the Getty Center until February 28th set out to show. Using a series of comparative techniques, the exhibit helps to explain the difference between a work of Rembrandt and of the fifteen pupils shown in the exhibit. Showing just over one hundred works on paper the collection highlights the brilliant simplicity in the work created between Rembrandt and his pupils.
