Rembrandt van Rijn (1606 – 1669) is one of the most famous artists in the history of western art. His work is represented in every major museum collection in the world and is enormously popular.

Britain has played a central role in the appreciation of Rembrandt’s work, and this was the focus of our exhibition Rembrandt | Britain’s Discovery of the Master, which was on at the Scottish National Gallery until 14 October 2018.

Some of the images are part of the exhibition, and for others we are grateful to:
