Remember Me: More than 100 Renaissance Portraits, from Dürer to Sofonisba

Jan Mostaert, 'Portrait of an African Man' (detail), ca. 1525-1530, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.

Remember Me, the latest exhibition at the Rijksmuseum, looks at how portrait sitters in the Renaissance wanted to be seen, exploring this topic through 9 themes such as beauty, authority and ambition. Nearly 90 of its 118 works are paintings which have come from museums around Europe and the United States, including works which have not travelled for many years such as Petrus Christus’s Portrait of a Young Woman from the Gemäldegalerie in Berlin museum. Also featured are Antonello da Messina's 1476 Portrait of a Man, Titian’s Portrait of Ranuccio Farnese from the early 1540s, and Sofonisba Anguissola's Self-Portrait (ca. 1556) from Muzeum-Zamek w Łańcucie, Łańcut in Poland.

The exhibition page on the Rijksmuseum website includes links to digital features such as Stories about portraiture in the Renaissance.
