Rembrandt in Paris: Manet, Méryon, Degas and the Rediscovery of Etching (1830-90)

Museum Het Rembrandthuis, Amsterdam, United States

It is a little-known fact that in the nineteenth century Rembrandt was an icon for numerous French avant-garde artists, Impressionists and Post-Impressionists. Great names such as Édouard Manet, Edgar Degas, Odilon Redon and Theodore Rousseau took Rembrandt and his work as their example. To them he was an anti-academic cult figure, an artist who shrugged off academic rules and captured the world around him with a fearless immediacy. Many French artists decided to start etching – as Rembrandt had – and there was a revival of the art form. This is the first exhibition ever devoted to the etching revival in France inspired by Rembrandt.
