October 8, 2021 - January 2, 2022 the Art Museum of South Texas will present an exquisite exhibition of etchings and drawings titled Rembrandt and the Jews: The Berger Print Collection. Organized by the Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art in Santa Barbara, CA, this exhibition features 22 Rembrandt etchings of Jewish and biblical subjects and a drawing by Pieter Lastman, Rembrandt’s teacher.
By underwriting the Berger Print Collection exhibit to highlight Rembrandt’s relationship with Amsterdam’s citizens of the Jewish faith, you will be honoring the legacy of Rabbi Kenneth Roseman at the Art Museum of South Texas. Your support of this exhibition will ensure that the overarching themes of openness and learning from others, which are more relevant today than ever, are shared with our community.
