Rembrandt and the Jews: An Interactive Exploration

Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) was one of a tiny handful of artists of the pre-modern era who depicted contemporary Jews. Why was he so interested in Amsterdam’s Sephardic Jewish community? What attitudes do his images reveal? Art historian Jennifer Stern will present selected paintings and etchings to suggest answers to these questions in view of Rembrandt’s life and the history of Amsterdam’s Jewish community. Jennifer will also discuss how Jews (and non-Jews) have reacted to Rembrandt’s Jewish imagery over the centuries. Participants are encouraged to ask questions in the Q&A session in the last part of the program.

When: Sunday, October 27, 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. PT ( 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. CT, 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. ET, 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. in the UK, 9:00 – 10:00 p.m. in Central Europe).
