Parallel to Rembrandt-Caravaggio, the Van Gogh Museum presents a show which brings together Van Gogh and Rembrandt. Van Gogh was inspired by Rembrandt his whole life long, both spiritually and artistically. Peter Hecht, a specialist in Dutch seventeenth-century art and guest curator of the show, examines how Van Gogh gave Rembrandt a special place in his own life and work. Paintings like The Jewish bride and The supper at Emmaus made a profound impression on Vincent and he often mentioned Rembrandt in his letters to his brother Theo. Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, 2006. Hardcover. Available in Dutch, English and French edition.
