Naturalistic landscape painting was a Dutch specialty that was influential throughout Europe, leading to realistic landscapes later. These paintings will come alive with a DVD lecture series that will initially take a brief look at historical painting, from religion, mythology, and political history. The remaining half of the course will be devoted to Rembrandt from his early to late paintings as well as his drawings and etchings. Conclude with a scenic tour of Rembrandt’s works at the National Gallery in London, reflecting the energy that produced his “soulful, honest, and deeply moving work.” If you loved the first two parts of this three-part series, or even if you haven’t attended before, you won’t want to miss this final class.
