**This exhibition is no longer on view at the National Gallery.**

**Overview:** 17 half-length portraits of religious figures painted by Rembrandt van Rijn late in life were brought together for the first time from private and public collections in the United States and Europe. Scholars had long wondered whether the paintings, roughly similar in size and composition, formed part of a series.

The Camerata Trajectina presented special family concerts of 17th-century Dutch music on January 30 and February 6 in the West Building Lecture Hall in conjunction with the exhibition.

**Organization:** The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, in association with the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles. Arthur K. Wheelock Jr., curator of northern baroque painting at the National Gallery, was the curator.

**Sponsor:** Mr. and Mrs. Thomas A. Saunders III supported the exhibition in Washington. The exhibition received an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.

**Attendance:**  266,986
