Of the great masters of European painting, Rembrandt is one of the least well represented in the Museo del Prado, which has only one work by his hand, the Artemisia (1634). For this reason, the Museum has decided to organise an exhibition that will allow the public to see more of the work of this remarkable artist. It includes around 30 paintings and five prints loaned from leading European and American museums and will focus on the subject of Rembrandt as a narrative painter.

The exhibition features works from all the periods in Rembrandt’s career. In his early paintings, the gestures of the human figures are extroverted and their gaze is often mocking and jocular. In his mature works, the emotions are more suppressed and the emphasis is on their mental energy.


Rembrandt (1606-1669) is one of the most personal painters in the entire history of European art. From his beginnings in Leiden to his death in Amsterdam, his painting is a constant quest for representing human emotions as incisively and movingly as possible. This exhibition focuses on his biblical and historical paintings. On the scale of values of Rembrandt and his contemporaries, these were the most important themes a painter could address. They were also his best vehicle for showing how people reacted to dramatic situations and, accordingly, for exploring the human condition.
