Bol and Flinck are Rembrandt's two most important pupils. Their impressive work is admired all over the world, streets have been named after them, and after three and a half centuries this exhibition is at last bringing them out of their teacher's shadow. With superb portraits and dramatic scenes based on the Bible and the Classics, Bol and Flinck met the demands of their clients, who included prosperous merchants and representatives of the country's maritime and political power. Exhibition: Museum Het Rembrandthuis & Amsterdam Museum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (13.10.2017-18.02.2018).
"Ferdinand Bol, one of Rembrandt's best-known pupils, made a unique ensemble of five wall-sized canvasses in the 1660s. This interdisciplinary study offers a unique perspective on this exceptional commission, identifying for the first time the origin and history of the paintings, until now shrouded in mystery, the paintings themselves scattered around the Netherlands. The recent restoration of the paintings provided the opportunity to conduct a 'forensic' technical investigation, which the author integrates with archival, historical, stylistic and cultural historical research. This integrated approach allows her to identify the painting's origin and the client: a wealthy, strict Calvinist widow from Utrecht who commissioned them over time, choosing themes which reflected her stance in the political and religious conflicts played out in her community."--OCLC
