Set in the world of the Old Masters MY REMBRANDT offers a mosaic of gripping stories in which unrestrained passion for Rembrandt’s paintings leads to dramatic developments and unexpected plot turns. While art collectors show us their special connection with ‘their’ Rembrandt, a French baron puts two Rembrandts up for sale, triggering a hard political battle between the Rijksmuseum and the Louvre. Meanwhile aristocratic Dutch art dealer Jan Six seems to be on the trail of not just one but two ‘new’ Rembrandt paintings. MY REMBRANDT allows for a fascinating insight into what makes the work of this Dutch master painter so special and why his work touches people so deeply.
This screening is followed by a recorded Q&A with director Oeke Hoogendijk moderated by Murray Whyte, art critic for The Boston Globe.
