In the 1650s, Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn created several copies of Mughal portraits. Twenty-three of these survive today, including one at the Harvard Art Museums. In this talk, graduate student Khushi Choudhary will explore Rembrandt’s “creative copies,” by considering his portrait of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in contrast to one made in a Mughal studio.


This tour is offered in conjunction with the exhibition Imagine Me and You: Dutch and Flemish Encounters with the Islamic World, 1450–1750 (May 18–August 18, 2024).


Led by:

Khushi Choudhary, Graduate Student Teacher, Division of Academic and Public Programs


Please check in with museum staff at the Visitor Services desk in the Calderwood Courtyard to request to join the talk. Talks are limited to 18 people and are available on a first-come, first-served basis; no registration is required.
