Few people stand in front of The Jewish Bride (Portrait of a Couple as Isaac and Rebecca; ca. 1665–69) for long and walk away unmoved. Examining this picture and other works that Rembrandt made in his last years, John Walsh, B.A. 1961, Director Emeritus of the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, shows how the artist combined expressive body language, rich color, broken paint, and exotic costumes to restage historical events and charge them with emotional weight. Generously sponsored by the Martin A. Ryerson Fund. Followed by a reception.



This is the final lecture in the series Rembrandt Today: Six Lectures by John Walsh. Doors to the Robert L. McNeil, Jr., Lecture Hall open at 4:30 pm; seating is limited.
