While Rembrandt is widely known for his painting ability, he is critically acclaimed for his mastery of the art of etching. He achieved dramatic detail while incorporating the use of light and dark. The exhibit will show pieces from the four major themes of his work; self-portraits and portraits, biblical scenes, genre scenes and landscapes. Some of his most celebrated etchings as well as some of the lesser known and rarely exhibited pieces will be showcased.

AMA will host two lectures sponsored by UTA and a short documentary sponsored by The History Channel. There will also be a gift shop.
