Rembrandt Exhibition from Antwerp’s Museum De Reede Travels to South Korea
An acclaimed graphic art presentation that recently drew art lovers to Antwerp has made its way to the global stage. The exhibition highlighting Rembrandt’s innovative approach to printmaking is embarking on an international showcase at the Daegu Art Museum in South Korea.
From Antwerp to Daegu: The Journey of Rembrandt's Graphic Masterpieces
The touring collection, which explores the concept of the 17th-century Dutch master as an artist working like a photographer before the invention of the medium, was organized in collaboration with the Rembrandt Op Reis Foundation. Local art enthusiasts and visitors to Antwerp initially had the chance to experience these graphic treasures when the exhibition opened at Museum De Reede on January 27.
Following its run in Belgium, the showcase is traveling to South Korea, where it runs from October 31 through March 17, 2024. For the Korean presentation, the core collection of prints has been enhanced with an additional selection of works, offering an even deeper look into the artist's masterful use of light, shadow, and line.
Experiencing Graphic Art Heritage in Antwerp
While this traveling collection moves to international audiences, Museum De Reede continues to stand as a vital destination for print and graphic art lovers in Belgium. As the country's first museum dedicated entirely to the medium, the Antwerp venue regularly presents an extraordinary permanent collection centered around the prints and drawings of masters like Francisco Goya, Félicien Rops, and Edvard Munch.
Whether you are a local resident or a traveler planning your next cultural itinerary, discovering the rich printmaking traditions preserved in the city's modern art spaces offers a unique window into European art history.
