Rembrandt van Rijn

Saul and David

c. 1651 - 1654 and c. 1655 - 1658

 

Saul and David was considered one of Rembrandt’s most famous paintings and a highlight of the Mauritshuis collection from the time of its acquisition in 1898 until 1969, when it’s attribution was rejected and the picture lost much of its allure.

 

After a long period of study and treatment, the painting is once again the focus of attention as the centrepiece of the exhibition Rembrandt? The Case of Saul and David. In the exhibition we tell the gripping story of the painting’s history, the research, the conservation treatment and the advanced techniques that were used. And we give the final answer: Yes, it's a Rembrandt!
