Expert Meeting: Rembrandt Reunited
Den 2. september 2024 afholdes et internationalt forskningsseminar, der skal bevise eller afkræfte, hvorvidt to Rembrandt-værker malet i 1632 er pendanter. Det drejer sig om Nivaagaards Malerisamlings 'Portræt af en 39-årig kvinde' og 'Portræt af en 40-årig mand', der tilhører Metropolitan Museum of Art i New York. De to værker tilhørte tidligere samme privatsamling, hvorfra de blev solgt i 1801, og føres nu for første gang i 223 år sammen igen. Efter forskningsseminaret kan de genforenede Rembrandt-portrætter opleves af alle gæster frem til 10. november 2024 i fokusudstillingen Rembrandt Reunited.
Expert Meeting: Rembrandt Reunited
2. september 2024
Join us for an expert meeting at The Nivaagaard Collection in Nivå, Denmark, to celebrate the opening of the highly anticipated focus exhibition, Rembrandt Reunited.
This event marks the first time in over two centuries that Rembrandt's 'Portrait of a 39-year-old Woman' from The Nivaagaard Collection and its speculated counterpart, the 'Portrait of a 40-year-old Man' from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, will be displayed together.
Research by an international team of art historians and technical experts has focused on the question whether these masterpieces are pendant portraits. Now, we invite the academic community to review the results of new technical and art historical investigation in both works, and for the first time examine these portraits side by side. We anticipate engaging dialogue in front of the paintings in the gallery.
Speakers include Angela Jager (RKD) and Jørgen Wadum (Nivaagaard/WATS), the project leaders, and the members from the research team, Silvia Centeno and Doherty Mahon (The Metropolitan Museum of Art), Aoife Daly (Dendro.dk), Gianluca Pastorelli (Statens Museum for Kunst) and Camilla Perondi (Art +Image). Keynote lectures are provided by Petria Noble (Rijksmuseum) and Jaap van der Veen (Independent Scholar).
