It's a rare opportunity to see Old Master paintings in person: Rembrandt, Rubens, Gainsborough, van Dyck and more. Huntsville is the final stop on a 10-museum exhibition tour for "Rembrandt, Rubens, Gainsborough and the Golden Age of Painting in Europe," a collection of 60 paintings from the 17th and early 18th centuries.

Highlights of the exhibition include works by Rembrandt van Rijn, Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony van Dyck, David Teniers the Elder, Jacob Jordaens the Elder, Nicolas Tournier, Jacob van Ruisdael and Thomas Gainsborough.

The Orlando Museum of Art is currently presenting the exhibition ‘Rembrandt, Rubens, Gainsborough and the Golden Age of Painting’. The opening of the monumental show, which took place on January 25, 2014, marked the beginning of the museum’s 90th anniversary celebration.

The works on view are on loan from the Speed Art Museum in Louisville, Kentucky and were created between 1600 and 1800, a period commonly known as the Golden Age of European painting. During this time, the number of artists and art collectors in Europe grew exponentially. The exhibition presents 71 works including portraits, religious paintings, landscapes and still lifes by artists such as Rembrandt, Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony Van Dyck, Jan Steen, Jacob Van Ruisdael and Thomas Gainsborough.

‘Rembrandt, Rubens, Gainsborough and the Golden Age of Painting’ will be on view at the Orlando Museum of Art through May 25, 2014.
