The painting is based on another portrait now in Dresden, Germany. Replicas of Rembrandt\u2019s portraits are numerous, as his students painted copies as part of their artistic training and later followers continued the practice. The Madison portrait likely traveled from Germany, through Romania and New York City, to reach Harrisonburg.<\/p>\n<p>This exhibit marks the first time JMU\u2019s James and Gladys Kemp Lisanby Museum has received loans from the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Loans include etchings of the Mennonite preacher Cornelis Claez Anslo, self-portraits, views of Amsterdam, studies of the human figure, as well as a reprint of \u201cChrist Healing the Sick,\u201d nicknamed \u201cThe Hundred Guilder Print.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Dutch 17th-century rare books from Eastern Mennonite University include \u201cDescriptions of Amsterdam\u201d published by Caspar Commelin in 1693, as well as the renowned \u201cMartyrs\u2019 Mirror\u201d by T. Van Braght. Several books have engravings by the Mennonite painter and poet Jan Luiken.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibit is free and open to the public and runs from January 15 through February 28 (Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with special Sunday hours on January 26 and February 23). Metered parking is available in lot C12. The exhibit features a \u201cKids Zone\u201d with fun, educational materials and interactive iBooks in the gallery.
