Toledo Museum of Art to Display Rediscovered Rembrandt

A rediscovered painting by Dutch artist Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn (1606– 1669), on loan at the Toledo Museum of Art, will be displayed for several months beginning January 28 in Gallery 24. The artist painted the small oil-on-copper self portrait, Rembrandt Laughing, in his native city of Leiden when he was just 21 or 22 years old.

“This is one of the most exciting artistic rediscoveries in recent years,” said Museum Director Brian Kennedy. “Rembrandt Laughing is one of the first and most joyful examples of the artist’s autobiography in paint.”
