Rembrandt: The Conspiracy of Claudius Civilis

Participants will view Simon Schara’s Power of Art, Episode Three. The painting was commissioned as a stirring depiction of the legendary story of how the Dutch nation came to be born. What they got was Rembrandt's version of history: ugliness, deformity, and barbarism; the paint slashed and stabbed, the caked-on face paint of warriors. Presented by Jerry Matovcik
