The exhibition also directed attention to the group of artists around Rembrandt. Many of these artists – not least Rembrandt's students – have long represented a largely forgotten chapter of Dutch Golden-Age art. Studies from the last few decades have shown that works formerly attributed to Rembrandt were in fact done by his students, sparking a considerable rise in interest in these artists. The exhibition included fine examples of the kind of copies and free variations on Rembrandt's own paintings which his students produced at his workshop in Amsterdam.
