The Hydes & Rembrandt

WHITNEY-RENZ GALLERY

During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, many American art collectors fervently desired to acquire a work by Rembrandt — Charlotte and Louis Hyde were among them. Using materials from the Hyde Archive, including correspondence with their adviser Willem Valentiner, photographs, and documents that shed light on their pursuit, this exhibition follows the Hydes’ quest to secure a painting by the Dutch Master. The exhibition is organized by The Hyde Collection.
