VIII Preface

This volume is something of a Siamese twin to the we believe we have found satisfactory answers to one preceding it. The period it covers is, despite some of these - but only by focussing our attention unmistakeable changes in Rembrandt's style, so also on the later work of Flinck and, especially, Bol. closely connected with that of the previous years The basis for selecting the material to be that it is only when one surveys the whole of his first considered was again, as for Volume II, Horst ten years of activity in Amsterdam that the cohesion Gerson's Rembrandt paintings of 1968. Only two in his work becomes really clear. This is why in paintings, both formerly belonging to the Volume II we summarized the characteristics of his Lanckoronski collection in Vienna (Br. 219 and 359; portraits from those years, while in the present Gerson 225 and 224), cannot be traced and could volume the same is attempted for the history therefore not be covered. The number of works paintings. Many of the catalogue entries that follow rejected or omitted by Gerson but accepted by us, were written at the same time as those for Volume totalled four in both Volume I and Volume II; this II; in this respect as well there is no real break time there is only one - a painting that Bredius, too, between the two. did not include in the Rembrandt canon (our This is not to say that Rembrandt research has no.

The number of unsolved attribution stood still since 1986 (when Volume II appeared). problems - the B-numbers - come to four, and in Christian Tilmpel has published a monograph in each case this classification is due to the difficulty of which, while the main stress is on iconographic assessing the painting in the condition in which it has interpretation, a critical stance is taken on the survived.

First of all, of course, we must mention (by October 1988 its new name) the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO), which not only for years on end bore the cost of the research work but has REFERENCES also provided a special subsidy for the publication of 1 J.

Thanks are once again due to the 2 D. Bomford, C. Brown, A. Roy, Rembrandt, London (The National Gallery) owners, public and private, of the paintings 1988/89 (Art in the making). 3 W.

Among the many colleagues who helped us we must, in addition to those already mentioned in Volumes I and II, offer special thanks to Albert Blankert, Lizzie Boubli, Francis Broun, Peter Day and Bert M. Meijer. Cynthia Schneider we mention once again, for being kind enough to make available to us a version of her as yet unpublished book on Rembrandt's landscapes. Within our own closer circle, all honour goes to those whose help and care were vital for the writing and production of the book. Mr Jacques Vis contributed substantial parts of the text, including the majority of the entry for the Night watch. The translator, Mr Derry Cook-Radmore, was as always a model of devotion and of care for accuracy that extended to perfection in the wording, and Mrs L. Peese Binkhorst - assisted at particularly tense times by Mrs D. Adang-Dhuygelaere - kept all the editing, organisational and administrative reins in a firm hand. Their task was made none the easier by the fact that from the very earliest stages of preparing the book one could sense not only the blessings but also the problems that were going to flow from technical advances. The publisher, finally, watched with the care already familiar to us over the production of what is in many respects a most demanding kind of publication.
