Finding Rembrandt’s Ram

Led by Peggy Parker, VTS Rembrandt expert, we (myself, Prof. Kate Sonderegger, and newly graduated M.Div. Rev. Aidan Rontani) had a very enjoyable excursion yesterday to the National Gallery in DC to see some Rembrandts. There were few enough of us in the group, that I got to spend some quality time with one of my favorites, the Near Sacrifice of Isaac, and to make out some of the amazingly minute detail in the print. In particular, I was able to pin down the ram caught in the thicket. Click on images below to enlarge.
