Description: This extensive catalogue accompanied the exhibition on Rembrandt’s pupils organized by Hoogsteder & Hoogsteder in 1992. In his introductory essay Professor Werner Sumowski describes the beauty of Rembrandt’s art and that of his pupils. Paul Huys Janssen shows that the term ‘School of Rembrandt’ does little justice to the excellence of the work of Rembrandt’s pupils.

This show ran from 4 February to 2 May 1992, parallel with the major Rembrandt exhibition in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The idea that Rembrandt had an academy was conceived by Paul Huys Janssen, author of the catalogue. The Rijksmuseum invited him to illustrate this concept at a symposium to coincide with the exhibition. Professor Sumowski, co-author of the catalogue, helped to realize the show. He is the leading expert on pupils of Rembrandt and has published a six-volume lexicon on the subject.
