DETROIT, MI.- Rembrandt and the Face of Jesus, at the Detroit Institute of Arts Nov. 20, 2011–Feb. 12, 2012, brings together for the first time many of Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn’s finest paintings, prints and drawings that portray Jesus and events described in the Bible. The exhibition has been organized by the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Musée du Louvre and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The exhibition of 64 works includes approximately 52 small, intimate paintings, prints and drawings by Rembrandt and his students that illustrate how Rembrandt broke from traditional 17th-century representations of Jesus. In addition to the organizers, works come from more than 30 lenders, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.; The Metropolitan Museum in New York; and the British Museum and National Gallery in London. Western portrayals of Jesus in the 17th century were based on ancient Greek sculpture and
