First it was a 15th-century English castle, then it was a world-class performing arts centre. Now Alfred (Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션45, Arts 카지노 게임 컬렉션46, MSc카지노 게임 컬렉션47, LLD카지노 게임 컬렉션86) and Isabel Bader (LLD카지노 게임 컬렉션07) continue their legacy of landmark donations to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s with the gift of a storied work by one of the world카지노 게임 컬렉션s most celebrated painters.
Thanks to another generous gift from the Baders, the is poised to welcome Portrait of a Man with Arms Akimbo, a 42 x 34-inch oil-on-canvas painting by Rembrandt.

An avid collector of Baroque-era Dutch and Flemish art, Alfred Bader has had his eye on Portrait of a Man with Arms Akimbo for several years. He believes Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s is an ideal home for the painting. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It is the best Rembrandt in Canada and Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s is the best university in Canada,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It is very fitting.카지노 게임 컬렉션
After graduating from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s in 1947, he completed a Ph.D. at Harvard. In 1951 Dr. Bader founded the Aldrich Chemical Company, now Sigma-Aldrich Corporation, a company that makes specialty chemicals used in universities and laboratories around the world.
His generosity to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s spans seven decades. Last year, the Baders donated 68 Baroque paintings to the Agnes, solidifying the gallery카지노 게임 컬렉션s reputation as one of the premier university art galleries in North America for the study of European Art. 카지노 게임 컬렉션The rest of the collection is built around Rembrandt -- the people who taught him, the people he taught, his collaborators, and his competitors,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Agnes Director Jan Allen. 카지노 게임 컬렉션This painting will be the pinnacle of the collection.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The Bader Collection also includes two smaller character studies by Rembrandt. With the acquisition of Portrait of a Man with Arms Akimbo, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s becomes the only institution in Canada to house three Rembrandt originals.
