Greatly enjoyed Rembrandt’s Light (be quick, closes Sunday). Rembrandt is known for his mastery of light and shade, but DPG’s show creates an immersive experience in which even familiar faces shine anew. He is a magician, we fall under his spell.

Why would someone attack art? Compelled by above? Sticking it to a community? Case study: “The Night Watch,” attacked with a knife by an unemployed teacher in 1975; in 1990, sprayed with acid by an escaped psychiatric patient. Poor thing just can't catch a break.
