With An Van Camp, Christopher Brown Curator of Northern European Art at the Ashmolean Museum

Widely hailed as the greatest Dutch painter of all ages, Rembrandt was one of the most experimental printmakers of the 17th century. The Ashmolean holds one of the most important collections of Rembrandt prints in the world, most of them presented to the Museum in 1855.
