PREFACE. TT may be proper to inform the Purchafers of the Catalogue, and the Public in general. That there is no one Article contained in it but was a Part of the the late Noble PoffelTor, 'ifl-^-^l Genuine Collection of Margaret CayendiJ!?^ ^ Duchefs Dowager Portland. Nothing is foifted into it from the Cabinets of others ; but every Subject here recorded came into her Pofleffion, either by In- heritance, the Affiftance of thofe who were honored with hCr Friendfhip, or by [ her own Purchafe and Induftry. And how diligent have been her Enquiries into Natural Knowledge and the Polite Arts, as well as fuccefsful her En- deavours to encreafe the Stores of them, the following- Catalogue will, in a great Meafure, demonftrate. In the Articles of Virtu it contains no inconfider- able Part of her moft Valuable Colle£lion ; but in Natural H'ljlory every Sub- je£l is inferted flie had with fo much Pains and Treafure accumulated. And here it will appear, that all the Three Kingdoms of Nature, the Animal, Vegetable, and Fojfil, were comprehended in her Refearches. In all of thefe fhe is took infinite Pleafure and Delight J but in none of them her Cabinet more richly ftored than in that durable and beautiful Part of the FirJI, nzmcd Con- chohgy. In this Branch of Nature's Works, no Colledion in Europe can equal that of her Grace's in Number and Variety. To give fome Idea of its great Extent, it may be remarked, that the celebrated Linncsus, who had ftudied the Subjeffc, and methodized the Materials of it, has not defcribed One Fourth Part of the Obje£ls contained in the Mufeum now offered to the Public. It v/as indeed in the Intention of the enlightened PofTeflbr to have had every unknoivn Species defcribed and publifhed to the W^orld ; but it pleafed God to cut fhort the Defign, not only by the Death-of the ingenious Naturalift employed by her * for that Purpofe ; but, in a fhort Time afterwards, to the great and irreparable Lofs of Scierice, by her own alfo. Had her Life been continued a few Years longer, it is poffible that every Suhjeft in this Catalogue would have been properly defcribed and chara<Stcrifed ; but in the prefent Mazes of Science, all that could be done by the Compiler was only to give in general the claffical or popular Names to fuch Articles as were knov/n to have any, and to leave * Dr, Solander, (the ( iv ) the great Bullc of Non-defcripts to the Examination and determination of the Curious. Some Perfons, perhaps, may cbjeft to the Promifcuous AlTemblage of the various Subjects here exhibited, and be ready to wifh that they had been allotted in Order and Method, according to Genus and Species; and it muft be confelTed, that fuch a Proceeding would have proved extremely fatisfa£lory to eveny true Lover of Science. Such would have been highly pleafed to have feen each Article named, and ftand in its proper Place. But however defirable fuch an Attainment might have been to a few Cognofcentl, it is very certain that the Majority of the World are not MethocU/is. They love Variety more than Order, and would rather purchafe Twenty different Species of Cones ox turbos in One Lot, than the fame Number of High Admirals or Wentletraps. Yet to gratify every Palate, C?jre has been taken, as much as poffible, to keep the Grand ClaJJcs^ and often the Genera together; at leaft as far as Re(pe£l to Rarity^ or Beauty, would allow. And in this Difpofition, there are very few Subjefts but will occur again and again ; fo that almoft every Perfon defirous of becoming a Purchafer, may have an Opportunity of fupplying his Wants. Whereas, in a methodical Arrangement, it muft of Neceffity have frequently happened, either that a Multitude of fhe fa?ne Species muft be fold together in One Lot., (which very few would chiifc to purchafe) er each Individual of that Species, muft be difpofed of fingly^ or in Pairs ; which would have multiplied the Number of Lots to fuch a Degree as would -extend the Sale to as many Weeks^ as it confifts at prefent of Days. It is hoped however, that the Man oi Science will not be altogether difappdinted in the prefent Arrangement of the Catalogue ; for as much Pains and Care have been taken to affix the proper claffical, or generally received Names, to as many Articles as the Time and Abilhies of the Compiler^'would allow ; it will be no ^reat Trouble for him to caft his Eye over each Day's Sale, as it occurs, and he will hardly fail to meet in one or more of them, with the Subjects he defires. In Order therefore to bis more ready Underftanding the various Articles re- corded in the following Catalogue, it remains only to fubjoin an Explanation <)f the References and Abbreviations made Ufe of in it.

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.

Carl Blechen, View of the Colosseum in Rome, 1829 Oil on paper, mounted on panel, 18.7 x 31.9 cm Loan, promised gift from a private collector In 2010, as well as French, Danish and Dutch oil sketches from the estate of Carlos van Hasselt, the Fondation Custodia also acquired a group of works by Ger- man artists. Something I had never thought possible, to be able to add to these a work by Carl Blechen (1798–1840) – the most important exponent of the oil sketch from the German-speaking regions – has now come about. We owe this acquisi- tion to the immediate response of a private collector, who acted instantly when an unpublished View of the Colosseum in Rome dated 1829 came on to the market this spring (fig. 1). Prompted by enthusiasm about the initiative of expanding the collec- tion of oil sketches into an exciting and representative entity, he bought the paint- ing and loaned it to the Fondation Custodia with the intention of donating it in the DE L’ALLEMAGNE, future. : CARL BLECHEN Carl Blechen had long wanted to travel to Italy and finally set off on 6 September 1828, returning to Berlin fourteen months later. His trip released something in him. Painting en plein air led to an assurance in his brushwork and a different orientation in his art. His friend Karl Friedrich Schinkel called Blechen’s oil sketches ‘etwas promised gift Wirkliches von Kunst’, in which admiration for his faithfulness to visible reality resonates.

I argue that throughout his oeuvre Coorte, despite the unusually small size of his works (often not much larger than a postcard), can be seen searching for the limits of painting. Special attention is given to the unconven- tional way in which he animates his fruits and shells, presenting them as if they are actors in an indefinable place, and the rather extreme contradictions in dimension and scale he employs. I conclude by referring to another type of sublimity in painting in a truly genuine fusion of painting and collage in a forest piece by Elias van den Broeck.

  • 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.
