Rembrandt to be in China!

I can still remember half a year ago, I began this post "One Year of Rembrandt van Rijn" saying the world's celebration of Rembrandt 400-year anniversary is coming to an end, fortunately, it is not:)

Even better, Rembrandt is coming to China! Hooray!!!





It is for the first time that masterpieces from the collection of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam will be seen in China. The exhibition includes two paintings by Rembrandt and twenty prints by the master as well as Delft Blue and silver objects and other paintings of famous Dutch artists such as Frans Hals, Jan Steen and Jacob van Ruysdael. The exhibition will open on November 2, 2007 and will run through February 13, 2008.
