In a United States first, 17 Rembrandts are on display in the Norton Museum's new show “Art and Life in Rembrandt’s Time: Masterpieces from The Leiden Collection” stands among the most valuable exhibits the Norton has ever presented. Each of the 17 paintings is valued in the tens of millions of dollars. These paintings make up the world’s largest collection of Rembrandts in private hands.

The Rembrandts are the center of gravity in this survey of 75 paintings by 27 Dutch Golden Age artists, all contemporaries and disciples of the famed painter, etcher, printmaker and drafter. Taken together, The Leiden Collection traces daily life in 17th-century Amsterdam, from portraits of merchant sitters and the Roman deity Minerva to humble family meals in messy Dutch homes. That it’s the U.S. debut of “Art & Life” makes viewing the collection an even rarer experience.
