5200 Woodward, Detroit.
New exhibit sheds light on gems out of storage and out of the shadows of European masters.
Over the years, the picture has been downgraded to Circle of Rembrandt, meaning that it was done during the master's time by someone close to him. Although the attribution has changed, the picture remains the same beautifully crafted image it was when it bore the Rembrandt label. As museum holdings go, these pictures are misfits. Because they are small, they require intimate spaces, which the DIA can't provide in the European galleries. Also, a number of these paintings are by artists from the circles or workshops of famous names, but not by the masters themselves.
