We remember the sacrifice of our Lord with gratitude because his death gives us life and brings redemption to the world. Let us worship our Savior. Prayer of Invocation O God, who for our redemption gave your only Son to the death of the cross, and by his glorious resurrection delivered us from the power of our enemy: grant us so to die daily to sin, that we may evermore live with him in the joy of his resurrection, now and forever.

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.

  • 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.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION Renaissance and Baroque Prints surveys the Kemper Art Museum’s substantial holdings of European prints from the late fifteenth to eighteenth centuries. Printmaking during the Renaissance and Baroque eras served a wide variety of purposes. As part of the Renaissance in Italy and Northern Europe, artists developed sophisticated techniques and explored various themes that elevated the print to an important art form in its own right. In the Baroque era printmaking continued to flourish as artists experimented with new techniques and dramatic expressive effects. Exhibition highlights include work by major innovators of printmaking such as Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) and Rembrandt van Rijn (1606– 1669). Albrecht Dürer (German, 1471–1528), Melencolia I, 1514.
