Dulwich Picture Gallery

I took a trip to the Rembrandt Exhibition at Dulwich Picture Gallery for my first time–which was funny since I used to live one stop down the train line at Tulse Hill when I worked at Lloyd’s of London (last century).

I’d always known that Dulwich was quite different from the surrounding areas and London Bridge through Peckham created quite a contrast on the train.

Rembrandt’s work had special attention paid to the lightning–with Peter Suschitzky as a consultant and special Black 3.0 paint.
