The exhibition is dedicated to the graphic work of Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669), one of the foremost figures in the history of European art.
Many of the plates from which these prints were taken have been lost or irreparably damaged, and only a few European museums preserve etchings of truly outstanding quality.
The exhibition is therefore a unique opportunity to closely explore a master who turned etching into a personal, free, and revolutionary language—one capable of uniting direct observation, psychological intensity, and exceptional sensitivity to light.
The exhibition was conceived with the aim of bringing the public closer to Rembrandt’s printmaking, a body of work comprising more than three hundred plates that the artist regarded as an autonomous and central field of research within his practice.
For Rembrandt, etching is a laboratory — a space of continuous experimentation where drawing, light, material, and invention intertwine.
The exhibition is curated by Luca Baroni. Director of the Rubini Vesin Museum of Art (MARV) since 2022. Since 2023, he has also served as Director of the Marche Nord Museum Network, an association of over thirty cultural venues spread across eight municipalities in the Province of Pesaro and Urbino, with Gradara as the lead municipality. His research focuses on Italian art history between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, with particular attention to the history of drawing and printmaking.
He has collaborated with prestigious museum institutions such as the Uffizi Galleries, the British Museum and MART in Rovereto.
The exhibition path focuses on several key elements. It traces the artist’s technical evolution through etchings, burins, and drypoints that document different stages of his career:
it highlights his continual state variations, revealing the creative process and the freedom with which Rembrandt worked repeatedly on the same plate;
it highlights the influences and legacy of the artist;
it creates a dialogue with a technique that has been an identifying Dutch practice for centuries, from Renaissance workshops to contemporary artists.
The result is a portrait of Rembrandt close to our modern sensibility: an experimenter, restless, capable of transforming a line into meaning and light into a spiritual dimension.
