Remembering Rembrandt

Considered the greatest artist of the Dutch school, his masterpieces provide a record of contemporary Amsterdam life. It is a testament to the genius of Rembrandt van Rijn that 400 years after his birth, he remains a giant in the history of art.

To mark the anniversary of his birth, Dr Hans Fransen presents an illustrated talk at 17:00 on Heritage Day, 24 September, at the Old Town House, home of the famous Michaelis Collection which boasts, amongst its many treasures, several of the master's etchings as well as numerous works from the Rembrandt School.

Hosted by Friends of the Michaelis Collection and entitled "Rembrandt: Man of his time/timeless man", the event costs R75, including wine and refreshments after the talk. Enq: 021 481 3933.
