Rembrandt and the Jews: The Berger Print Collection

Rembrandt and the Jews features a collection of 22 etchings by the Dutch master that explore the relationship
between the artist and the Jewish residents of his Amsterdam neighborhood. Rembrandt’s legacy as an etcher is
characterized by the new and innovative techniques he introduced to printmaking. He broke with longstanding,
traditional depictions of biblical narratives; instead, Rembrandt added emotional and psychological depth to his
subjects through expressive faces, dramatic body language, and his bold use of shadow and light.
