Rembrandt was a 17th century Dutch painter and printmaker, and one of the greatest storytellers in the history of art. Renowned as a painter, possessing an exceptional ability to capture people on his canvases, his print making is less well-known but equally innovative.

Rembrandt: Masterpieces in Black and White brings together exquisite etchings on tour from Rembrandt House Museum in the Netherlands, highlighting the full range of Rembrandt’s output along with those he influenced across the centuries.

The exhibition demonstrates Rembrandt’s evolution as a printmaker, tracing his progress through depictions of nature and landscape, his explorations of light and dark, his storytelling, and his changing self-portraits throughout his life.

Discover Birmingham’s own collection of Rembrandt’s etchings, and 20th century prints by two leading artists and printmakers from the Midlands capturing both rural and industrial landscapes.
