Getting started with the collection:
Christ Disputing with the Doctors
Rembrandt van Rijn (mentioned on object), 1652
The theme of Christ and the doctors requires the men visibly to express their astonishment at the unexpected wisdom of a 12-year-old boy. Perhaps this is what attracted Rembrandt to the subject: in any event, he depicted it repeatedly. It is quite conceivable that he wished to work out this hardly completed composition further. However, nothing came of it.
