THE PRIVATE MADE PUBLIC<br />
PERMANENT COLLECTION<br />
AM I<br />
REMBRANDT?<br />
Until 5 March <strong>2017</strong><br />
The final display of the Making<br />
Discoveries series brings<br />
Rembrandt’s Self-Portrait, Wearing<br />
a Feathered Bonnet to London for<br />
the first time, and looks at how<br />
new technical analysis has been<br />
used to authenticate the work as a<br />
genuine Rembrandt. Using the loan<br />
as a starting point the display also<br />
examines the authorship of <strong>Dulwich</strong>’s<br />
own works by the Dutch master,<br />
acquired by the <strong>Gallery</strong>’s founders in<br />
the late 18 th century.<br />
Supported by<br />
The Elizabeth Cayzer Charitable Trust<br />
Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn, Self-portrait,<br />
wearing a Feathered Bonnet, 1635, National<br />
Trust, Buckland Abbey, gift from the estate of<br />
Edna, Lady Samuel of Wych Cross<br />
