Southern California is home to the third-largest assemblage of Rembrandt paintings in the United States, with notable strength in works from the artist's dynamic early career in Leiden and
Amsterdam. This lovely volume presents the fourteen stunning Rembrandt paintings held in five Southern California museums, provides biographical information about Rembrandt, and discusses when
and how so many important works entered Southern California collections. Reproductions of the fourteen paintings are shown in full, along with details. Together these works attest to the
remarkable range of Rembrandt's achievement throughout his long career.
A companion website featuring a virtual exhibition of the paintings and information for visiting each of the museums can be found at www.rembrandtinsocal.org.
