'Amazing Gift' for Queen's

Thanks to Alfred and Isabel Bader, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s art centre has added another Rembrandt painting to its collection 카지노 게임 컬렉션� this time a remarkable, late-career masterpiece that had been privately owned and unavailable to scholars for much of its existence.

Portrait of a Man with Arms Akimbo, signed and dated 1658, will become part of the Agnes Etherington Art Centre카지노 게임 컬렉션�s permanent collection. The painting is a significant example of a dated portrait by Rembrandt from the 1650s, and one of the last works from the artist카지노 게임 컬렉션�s late career to enter a public collection.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I am grateful the Baders have entrusted us with this remarkable work of art,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Principal Daniel Woolf. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�This gift distinguishes the art centre at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s as the destination in Canada for the research, study and enjoyment of Rembrandt and his followers, and places the Agnes among the premier university art galleries in North America for the study of European art.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Over a period spanning nearly 50 years, the Baders 카지노 게임 컬렉션� two of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s most generous alumni and benefactors 카지노 게임 컬렉션� have donated to the Agnes more than 200 paintings, including two other works by Rembrandt, Head of an Old Man in a Cap (c. 1630) and Head of a Man in a Turban (c. 1661).

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Portrait of a Man with Arms Akimbo will be a centrepiece for the many portraits by the artists in Rembrandt카지노 게임 컬렉션�s circle currently in The Bader Collection at the Agnes. I카지노 게임 컬렉션�m truly grateful to Alfred and Isabel Bader for their vision in shaping this collection, and for this amazing gift,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Jan Allen, Director of the Agnes. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Across the university, researchers from many disciplines, from art and art history to psychology, business, theatre and medicine will take advantage of access to this painting. Most of all, we카지노 게임 컬렉션�ll treasure this piece for its extraordinary quality, and as an example of the highest aspiration of painting, which is to capture the human spirit.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

The Agnes is currently preparing Portrait of a Man with Arms Akimbo for installation. The painting will be unveiled to the public in May 2016.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�This painting is a dazzling demonstration of the artist카지노 게임 컬렉션�s signature ruwe, or rough, style, embodying the painterly brilliance so associated with Rembrandt카지노 게임 컬렉션�s late work. It also beautifully demonstrates the artist카지노 게임 컬렉션�s consummate skill in capturing the psychological presence of his subjects,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dr. Jacquelyn N. Coutré, Bader Curator and Researcher of European Art at the Agnes.

The Baders카지노 게임 컬렉션� most recent gift is a significant contribution to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Initiative Campaign, the most ambitious fundraising campaign in the university카지노 게임 컬렉션�s history. The campaign seeks to nurture a supportive campus community, enhance the student learning experience, and secure a global reputation in discovery and inquiry.

When asked about the motivation for his generous gift, Dr. Bader explains, 카지노 게임 컬렉션�It is the best Rembrandt in Canada, and Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s is the best university in Canada. It is very fitting.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Alfred Bader (Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션�45, Arts카지노 게임 컬렉션�46, MSc카지노 게임 컬렉션�47, LLD카지노 게임 컬렉션�86) and Isabel Bader (LLD카지노 게임 컬렉션�07) are among Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s most generous benefactors, supporting the university for seven decades. They have given back to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s in countless ways: transforming the campus, enriching the student experience, supporting scholarship, and helping to enhance the university카지노 게임 컬렉션�s reputation as a top-tier educational institution. In an extraordinary philanthropic gesture, the couple funded Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s purchase of a 15th century English castle 카지노 게임 컬렉션� Herstmonceux 카지노 게임 컬렉션� that has been meticulously restored and is now home to the Bader College. Last year, the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts opened, thanks to another transformational gift from the Baders.
