(Jim r. Bounds/Associated Press)-Rembrandt van Rijn (and workshops) Bust young man with the golden chain painting waiting to be examined at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, North Carolina, Friday, October 14, 2011. Rembrandt in America is the largest collection of Rembrandt painting ever presented in the exhibition American and the first major exhibition to explore in depth the history of collecting Rembrandt painting in America.
People like the j. Paul Getty, Andrew Mellon and George Eastman, they are mainly interested in Netherlands and Flemish painters because they are portraits and landscapes are more approachable than the works of France or Italy. And Rembrandt is the most desired by collectors, who see similarities between the rise of The Netherlands and the United States, said Weller, curator of the exhibition.
