Excerpt from Rembrandt's Etchings The etchings that belong to this early period are, many of them, of exquisite delicacy and beauty. The etching of Rembrandt's Mother turned to the Right is one of his most beau tiful things, and reminds us that it was Rem brandt more than any other artist who taught us what beauty and dignity there are in the faces of old people. The earliest period was also characterized by spirited little sketches of beggars, another of Rembrandt's artistic discoveries.

Excerpt from Catalogue of an Exhibition of Etchings by Rembrandt This copper had originally been engraved by Hercules Seghers with the representation of Tobit and the Angel. Only two impressions are known of the print in this state. The plate was then taken by Rembrandt, the figures of Tobit and the Angel effaced, and the figures of Joseph and the Virgin introduced in their places. The trees at the right and the foreground, as well as the figures, are Rembrandt's work. The remainder of the plate is substantially the way Hercules Seghers left it.

Excerpt from Rembrandt: With a Complete List of His Etchings Rembrandt's affection for scriptural subjects is a striking fact in face of the general character of Dutch art in the seventeenth century. The reformation in Holland seems to have helped towards the exclusion of art from the domain of religion and the merely formal and superficial rendering of biblical stories by the classicists of the late sixteenth century may have also had much to account for the secular reaction of the succeeding period. But Rembrandt had no need to seek new ground to escape from a formal rendering of well known themes. Like most masters of supreme genius, his originality consisted in the realisation of his own deepest and most personal emotion in his treatment of the old stories. They appealed to him as the vehicle of the noblest thoughts of man in relation to himself and God, and he was practically the first artist who dared approach the Scriptures in the Spirit of reality that implied a living faith rather than an official creed. It is perhaps still not superfluous to emphasise the fact that the etchings of Rembrandt (as of nearly all the painter-engravers or etchers) are original works distinct in methods and aims from the paintings or works in any other medium. In Rembrandt's work of rather more than three hundred etchings there are scarcely half a dozen subjects that correspond with his pictures. In general the original engraver or etcher conceives and carries out his design in specific relation to its medium; its expression in another would demand an entirely different treatment.

Excerpt from A Catalogue of Rembrandt's Etchings, Vol. 1 of 2 F I 1he 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. Mr. John Charrington (no. Messrs. Craddock and Barnard (nos. 92, 126, 144, 146, 186, 192, 202, 218, 259, 290, 294, M. Frits Lugt (no. Baron Edmond de Rothschild (no. Mr. Harold J. L. Wright and Mr. E. G. Kennedy (no.

Excerpt from Rembrandt At the Hermitage in St. Petersburg I was specially privileged - I was allowed to study these priceless works with the glass off and in moments of bright sunlight - to see those sweeps of rich colour, so full, so clear, so transparent, and broken in places, allowing the undertones to show through.
