Rembrandt to Van Gogh: Masterpieces from the Armand Hammer Collection showcases the renowned collection of the Hammer Museum at UCLA. Major works of art from across four centuries reflect the collecting interests of Armand Hammer (1898–1990), founder of the Los Angeles museum.
Highlights of the exhibition include paintings from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries by Titian with Portrait of a Man in Armor, and Rembrandt with Juno, a depiction of the Roman goddess of wealth and an outstanding example of Rembrandt’s late style.
