"The backbone of "Art & Life" is a trove of 17 Rembrandt paintings, the world's largest collection of the Dutch master's works in private hands, only rivaling the Rijksmuseum's 22 in Amsterdam. The exhibit is on loan from billionaire and onetime West Palm Beach resident Thomas Kaplan and his wife, Daphne Recanati Kaplan, whose Leiden Collection is so named after Rembrandt's birthplace. It comes here after several years hopscotching prestigious venues across the pond."
"One of the most valuable blockbuster shows the Norton Museum has ever displayed heads to South Florida this fall with a collection that's never before toured the United States. Here are 75 paintings by 27 Dutch Golden Age artists from the 17th century, an era of booming prosperity in trade and art, split up into 11 sections exploring vignettes of daily life. Rembrandt's works are joined by pieces from other artists including Johannes Vermeer, Frans Hals, Jan Lievens and Gerrit Dou."
An expansive Rembrandt-centered exhibition, Art and Life in Rembrandt's Time: Masterpieces from The Leiden Collection, runs Oct. 25–March 29 at the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach. The loaned Leiden Collection includes 17 Rembrandt paintings—the largest private holding of Rembrandt works—within a total of 75 paintings by 27 Dutch Golden Age artists, presented in 11 sections exploring daily-life vignettes. The collection comes from Thomas Kaplan and Daphne Recanati Kaplan and has toured prestigious European venues. IGNITE Broward Art & Light Festival (Feb. 13–22) offers free, immersive projection-mapped installations and light sculptures across Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood and Dania Beach, with county investment increasing eightfold since 2021.
