LONDON First Published February igis Second Edition, revised and in part rewritten . '9^3 THE LIBRARY BRIGHAM YOUWG UIN/IVERSIT^ PROVO, UTAH PREFACE THE present catalogue is a revised edition of the one which appeared in 1912 in my Rembrandt's Etchings, an Essay and a Catalogue, with some Notes on the Drawings. The Introduction is also composed to a large extent of material from the same volume, but revised and re-arranged with the definite object of providing such notes as would be of most use to the student and collector of Rembrandt's etchings (e.g. in the addition of a list of values). The volume of plates, to which a few subjects have been added since 1912, will no doubt be of service for purposes of identifica- tion, and will, I hope, appeal equally to the amateur or artist who merely wishes to be reminded of this incomparable series of subjects. For drawing my attention to new states or other details of description in the Catalogue, I would express acknowledgment to Jhr. Mr. J. F. Backer (No. Ill), Mr. John Charrington (No. 148), Messrs. Craddock and Barnard (Nos. 92, 126, 144, 146, 186, 192, 202, 218, 259, 290, 294, 298), M. Frits Lugt (No. 195), Baron Edmond de Rothschild (No. 97), Mr. Harold J. L. Wright and Mr. E. G.

Anthonis-sluis in the Breestraat, and appears to have remained in the same lodging till after February 1635; married Hendrik's kinswoman, Saskia van Ulenburch June 1634 ; had a son christened Rombertus December 1635; in February 1636 was living in the Nieuwe Doelenstraat ; a daughter Cornelia christened July 22, 1638 ; one of his children (probably Cornelia) buried in the Zuiderkerk August 13, 1638 ; in January and February 1639 he dates letters from a house on the Binnen-Amstel ; made agreement to pur- chase a house in the Breestraat (south-side, beyond the S. Anthonis- sluis)^ January 5, 1639, but was not to enter into possession until May of the same year; a second daughter christened Cornelia July 29, 1640 ; lost his mother, who was buried in S. Pieterskerk, Leyden, September 14, 1640; a second son Titus christened September 22, 1641 ; his wife Saskia died June 14, 1642 ; liaison with Titus's nurse Geertge Dircx, whom he agreed to support after she left his house in * 1649 ; Hendrickje StofFels (Jaghers), who was apparently a servant in * This date taken from Orlers^ Beschryving van Leiden, 1641 ; but Rembrandt's marriage register, followed by Vosmaer, makes it 1607. Houbraken gives June 15. 2 See C. J. Holmes, Burlington Magazine, xii. 102. ^ This house was opened to the public on the tercentenary of Rembrandt's birth. * In 1656 she was in a madhouse, where she died shortly after. Dr. Valentiner and Dr. Bode think that Geertge Dircx may be portrayed in two drawings in Haarlem and the British Museum (H. de G. 1327 and 899), the former having been traditionally called 'Titus's Nurse.' R.E.— 1 — ; REMBRANDT'S ETCHINGS the house when Geertge left (and then twenty-three years of age), re- placed the latter in Rembrandt's affections ; a child by Hendrickje, apparently buried August 15, 1652; in 1653 Rembrandt is in difficulties about the payments still due for his house in the Breestraat, and raises considerable loans : in 1654 Rembrandt and Hendrickje StofFels (Jaghers) are summoned by the council of the reformed community^ to which they belong, on the score of illicit intercourse, and Hendrickje is forbidden to appear at the Lord's S upper ; a third daughter christened Cornelia October 30, 1654 ; arranged in 1655 to purchase a house in the Hoochstraat^ from Dirk and Otto van Cattenburch (money-lenders and art-dealers ?) in return for pictures and prints, in addition to a certain sum of money ; in 1656 declared bankrupt, an inventory, which is still preserved, being made of the whole contents of his house in July of that year ; sales of his house and effects took place between 1657 and 1658, and from then till the end of his life all the money he earned had to go to his creditors, whom he never satisfied ; removed not earlier than 1658, apparently to a lodging in the Rozengracht Hendrickje Stoffels who was recognized in a document of 20 October 1661 (the last in which she is mentioned) as Rembrandt's wife,^ died before 1664; Rembrandt reported* to have spent some time in England about 1661-2 ; Titus, who had attained his legal majority in 1665 (receiving 6952 guilders as the balance of his mother's bequest), was married in February 1668, and died in September of the same year; Rembrandt's granddaughter, Titia van Ryn, baptized INIarch 22 1669 ; Rembrandt died October 4, 1669, and was buried in the Wester- kerk October 8. ^ Baldinucci may have had authority in saying that Rembrandt belonged to the Mennonite Church. 2 H. deG., Urkunden, No. 163. Whether the purchase was ever practically concluded or not is uncertain ; at least the house was not in his possession at the time of the bankruptcy. Compare remarks to etching No. 291. ^ No doubt by courtesy, as Rembrandt was always too poor to afford the loss of Saskia's inheritance, which was vested in him according to the terms of the will until a second marriage. * Vertue's Diaries, 1713. British Museum MS. Add. 21,111, fol. 8: Rembrandt van Rhine was in England, liv'd at Hull in Yorkshire about sixteen or eighteen months, where he painted several Gentlemen and sea-faring mens pictures, one of them is in the possession of Mr. Dahl a sea-captain, with the gentleman's name Rembrant's name and York and the year 166f. Christian. In the margin : Reported by old Laroon who in his youth knew Rembrant at York. (The Christian who is given as author of tradition is no doubt Christian Reisen, medallist and seal engraver, the son of a Norwegian goldsmith, who had settled in London about 1666.

  • Remembering Rembrandt
    For Immediate Release 13 February 2006 Contact: Hannah Schmidt 020.7389.2964 [email protected] Remembering Rembrandt ... CHRISTIE’S CELEBRATES REMBRANDT’S 400TH ANNIVERSARY Old Master, Modern and Contemporary Prints Wednesday, 29 March 2006 Christie’s London London – On July 15, 1606, one of the world’s most versatile, innovative, and influential artists Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn (1606-1669) was born in Leiden. Four hundred years later, Christie’s joins the celebrations of the anniversary of the master’s birth. An important group of fifty-five etchings by the artist from the collection of Dutch industrialist and patron, G.A.H. Buisman Jzn. will be offered alongside the 29 March sale of Old Master, Modern and Contemporary Prints in London. “This superb private collection lends a fascinating insight into the technique and mastery of the artist’s graphic oeuvre and with estimates starting at just £1,500 offers an excellent opportunity to collect an original by this famous artist in his 400th anniversary year,” said Richard Lloyd, Head of Christie’s Print Department. Rembrandt was a multi-talented artist, acquiring international fame not only as painter and draughtsman but also for his graphic works. He explored different forms, styles and subjects throughout his artistic life, with his first etching dating to circa 1626 and his last from 1665. The strength of his reputation as one of the most important graphic artists remains to this day. The collection to be sold at Christie’s reflects the broad range of subjects that Rembrandt addressed from portraits, and self-portraits, to landscapes, allegorical scenes, mythological and biblical stories as well as animal studies.

  • Rembrandt's Three Crosses
    Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum Spotlight Series: October 2008 By Paul Crenshaw, assistant curator for prints and drawings and senior lecturer in art history One of the most dynamic prints ever made, Rembrandt van Rijn’s The Three Crosses (1653) displays technical innovation and engagement with the human subjectivity of Rembrandt van Rijn The Three Crosses, 1653 Drypoint (4th state), 15 1/4 x 17 13/16" Christ’s death. A torrential downpour of lines Gift of Dr. Malvern B. Clopton, 1930 envelopes dozens of figures on the hill of Rembrandt van Rijn Golgotha, where Christ is pictured crucified The Three Crosses, 1660-61 Etching and drypoint (4th state)tate) amidst the two thieves. Even though it is an 15 1/4 x 17 13/16 " Gift of Dr. Malvern B. Clopton, 1930 inherently tragic subject commonly portrayed in Christian tradition, never before had it been staged with such sweeping emotional force. Rembrandt was inspired by the text of the Gospels (Matthew 27:45–54) proclaiming that a darkness covered the land from noon to three o’clock, when Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Elí, Elí, lemá sabachtháni?” (“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”). When Jesus died, the passage continues, the earth shook, rocks split, tombs opened, and the bodies of many sleeping saints arose. To achieve these supernatural effects, Rembrandt employed the kind of bold technical ingenuity that helped define him as one of the most significant printmakers of his age. The Kemper Art Museum impression is a fine example of the fourth state of the print, which gives a dramatically different tenor and narrative focus to his subject than earlier states did.

  • Of All Rembrandt's Etchings. the Hundred Guilder Print (Fig. 4.1)
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Ingersoll, Catherine ; McCusker, Alice ; Weiss, Jessica (Hrsgg.): Imagery and ingenuity in early modern Europe : essays in honor of Jeffrey Chipps Smith, Turnhout 2018, S. 55-71 The Cloak of Mercy: Reflections on Rembrandt’s Etching The Hundred Guilder Print Jurgen Muller Of all Rembrandt’setchings. The Hundred Guilder Print (Fig. 4.1) is perhaps the best known.1 The image has been highly praised since its creation, and it has given rise to numerous legends.2 *The popular name for the etching refers to the enormous price of one hundred guilders that collectors were said to have paid for the exceptional piece, with Rembrandt himself spending the same amount to purchase the sheet back again. Even though this latter anecdote may have been invented, it nevertheless goes to show that connoisseurs of prints esteemed the piece from very eaily on. Today, the assumption is that the image was exchanged as a gift between friends? This theory is based on a handwritten note on an impression of The Hundred Guilder Print in the Dutuit Collection. The note describes how, in exchange for his work, Rembrandt received a copperplate engraving depicting the plague that Raimondi had created after Raphael.4 This note would lead us to believe that Rembrandt’s work was intended less as an item for sale than as a piece intended for special collectors and other artists, a fact that has contributed to the etching’s legendary reputation.5 *It is no surprise therefore that The Hundred Guilder Print survives in only two states that differ from each other only minimally/’ The vibrancy and size of the space and the number of figures - a crowd of more than forty people - represented in the image are astonishing, especially when considering the work’s small format of 10.9 x 15.3 inches.

His light delights the eye and captivates the mind with its textural quality and dramatic presence. At a time of scientific inquiry and religious reformation that was reshaping the way individuals understood themselves and their relationship to God, Rembrandt’s light may carry more intellectual significance than has previously been thought.
