Rembrandt and His Times

So much has been written about every stage of Rembrandt’s life and work. Every aspect of his innovative work as a painter, draftsman and etcher has been extensively discussed. However, the course will be an opportunity to study his life and work as it developed, first in Leiden, and then in Amsterdam, his successes and disappointments, as well as the work of his pupils and those whom he influenced. 

On this online art history course, learn from our world-class experts wherever you are, whenever suits you: watch lectures live or view the recording later in your own time. You can experience the full breadth and depth of the V&A's collections with 12 hours of study over 6 weeks. Learn Rembrandt history at your own pace: lecture recordings and study materials, lecture notes, copies of the presentations, and additional study materials are available in our secure Microsoft Teams environment for 6 weeks after the course ends, so you'll never miss a thing. And finally, join the conversation: share your perspective with your fellow students, and support each other in your further enquiries outside of class time.
