Abu Dhabi \u2013 For the first time in the Middle East, Louvre Abu Dhabi exhibits twenty paintings by Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669), considered one of the most important painters of all times. The exhibition retraces Rembrandt\u2019s artistic journey in Leiden and Amsterdam in 17th<\/sup> century and his relationships with rivals and peers including Johannes Vermeer, Jan Lievens, Ferdinand Bol, Carel Fabritius, Gerrit Dou, Frans van Mieris, and Frans Hals.<\/p>\n

Ninety-five artworks will be exhibited, including paintings, drawings and objects from the 17th-century Dutch Golden Age. The exhibition marks the 350 years of the death of Rembrandt, the most important painter in the history of Dutch art.<\/p>\n

Called \u201cRembrandt, Vermeer and the Dutch Golden Age,\u201d it showcases masterpieces from the Leiden Collection and the Louvre Museum in Paris. The exhibition in Louvre Abu Dhabi started in February 14 and runs until May 18.<\/p>\n

The small and delicate Rembrandt\u2019s oil sketch \u201cStudy of the Head and Clasped Hands of a Young Man as Christ in Prayer\u201d, circa 1648-1656, was the most recent acquisition by Louvre Abu Dhabi. It is part of the exhibition and as soon as the show ends, it will go to the museum\u2019s permanent collection.<\/p>\n

The main painting of the show (Self-Portrait with Shaded Eyes), from 1634, where Rembrandt,\u00a0using noble vests. looks directly into the eye of the spectator with melancholic eyes shaded by his cap. The artist painted several self-portraits along his career.<\/p>\n

Dutch Golden Age was a brief period during the 17th<\/sup> century, when the Dutch Republic, then independent from the Spanish Crown, became a world leader in trade, science, and the arts, known as one of the most thriving countries in Europe. Rembrandt and Vermeer established themselves ahead of a new art movement marked by a deep interest in humanity and the daily life.<\/p>\n
