Rembrandt seen by Morandi

Kabinett Disegni e Stampe degli Uffizi - Loggiato Uffizi -  Florenz
from 18/12/2012 until 18/03/2013

This comparison between two of the greatest engravers of the history, is done through 40 works (20 by Rembrandt and 20 by Morandi) on display in the exhibition hall of the Cabinet.

Giorgio Morandi (Bologna, July 20, 1890 – June 18, 1964) was an Italian painter and engraver who specialized in still life. His paintings are noted for their tonal subtlety in painting apparently simple subjects, mainly vases, bottles, bowls, flowers and landscapes. He is considered one of the greatest engravers of the XX century.

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669) was a Dutch painter and etcher. He is generally considered one of the greatest painters and printmakers in European art history and the most important in Dutch history.
