The Age of Rembrandt and Vermeer: Masterpieces of The Leiden Collection

The State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia

The exhibition contains 82 works from The Leiden Collection by outstanding Dutch painters, including 12 paintings by Rembrandt (from both his early, Leiden years and his later mature Amsterdam period), works by Frans Hals and Johannes Vermeer, and also pieces by Rembrandt’s pupils (including Gerrit Dou, Ferdinand Bol and Govaert Flinck). Visitors will also enjoy Carel Fabritius’ unique Hagar and the Angel, one of just 16 works by Rembrandt’s most revered student to have survived to the present day, and the only one in private hands. The show also features two magnificent drawings: Young Lion Resting by Rembrandt and Head of a Bear by Leonardo da Vinci.

The exhibition is curated by Dr. Irina Sokolova, Chief Curator in The State Hermitage’s Department of Western European Fine Art, Keeper of Dutch Painting, and Dr. Lara Yeager-Crasselt, Curator of The Leiden Collection in New York.
