This coming Sunday, October 26, will be the last opportunity to visit the exhibition, “Rembrandt the Printmaker”, at Gainsborough’s House, in Sudbury.
Over the past five months, the exhibition has proved to be hugely popular with works on loan from the British Museum and The Fitzwilliam Museum.
It explores the Dutch master’s achievements in the medium that have inspired generations of printmakers, including Thomas Gainsborough.
At the height of his career, Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-69), undertook several lucrative royal and guild commissions, yet he died penniless and was buried in an anonymous rented grave.
Mark Bills, director of Gainsborough’s House, said: “We are delighted with the success of this exhibition and are so thrilled by the number of people who have visited over the summer and autumn months.
“To coincide with Rembrandt the Printmaker, we have shown films about the artist and carried out printmaking demonstrations to give visitors a rare chance to see how Rembrandt created these great etchings.”
Gainsborough’s House is open from 10am until 5pm, Monday to Friday, and from 11am to 5pm, on Sundays.
