Sordid & Sacred: The Beggars in Rembrandt's Etchings

In his paintings, prints, and etchings, Dutch master Rembrandt touched upon a wide breadth of subjects from the religious and mythical to the very real. Known for preserving humanity in his portraits, Rembrandt favored beggars in his etchings, situating humble figures in grand, sacred scenes. Thirty-six of these notable works are at the Alexandria Museum of Art for an exhibit this spring. Sordid & Sacred: The Beggars in Rembrandt's Etchings is partnered with the museum's juried exhibition, Concrete & Adrift: On the Poverty Line, which features works that aim to increase representation of poverty and homelessness. Don't miss this rare opportunity to see original works by one of the greatest painters of all time. themuseum.org.
