Ronni Baer, Ph.D., Senior Curator of European Painting at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, explores the ways in which this master artist was able to re-imagine biblical subjects in deeply human terms.
Dr. Baer has spearheaded numerous acquisitions and gallery installations and has been responsible for the exhibitions The Poetry of Everyday Life; Rembrandt’s Journey (co-curated with Cliff Ackley); and El Greco to Velazquez, for which she was awarded the Encomienda de la Orden de Isabel la Católica by King Juan Carlos of Spain. In October of last year, her exhibition, Class Distinctions: Dutch Painting in the Age of Rembrandt and Vermeer, opened at the MFA. It was the first show devoted to the study of how rank and status are reflected in seventeenth-century Dutch portraits, genre scenes, landscapes, and decorative arts objects.
