Rembrandt and books

The Rijksmuseum presents Books in the Age of Rembrandt at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The exhibition, running from 9 July to 13 October 2008, features books in paintings of the Dutch Golden Age. Ten pictures by various 17th-century masters reveal some of the functions and significance attached to books in the Age of Rembrandt.

One of the highlights of the show is the portrait of Rembrandt’s Mother, entitled ‘Old Woman Reading’ (1640) by the Dutch painter Gerard Dou.
