Rembrandt van Rijn Art
Dutch, 1606-1669
Rembrandt was the most influential 17th Century Dutch painter. After years of early success as a portrait painter, his life was beset by financial hardship and personal tragedy. He continued to paint portraits and develop etchings. Rembrandt's portraits of his contemporaries, self-portraits and illustrations of scenes from the Bible are regarded as his greatest creative triumphs. His self-portraits form a unique and intimate autobiography, in which the artist surveyed himself without vanity and with the utmost sincerity. Like many artists of the Dutch Golden Age, such as Jan Vermeer of Delft, Rembrandt was also an avid art collector and dealer. Rembrandt never went abroad, but he was considerably influenced by the work of the Italian masters and Netherlandish artists who had studied in Italy, like Pieter Lastman, the Utrecht Caravaggists, Flemish Baroque, and Peter Paul Rubens. Rembrandt's foremost contribution in the history of printmaking was his transformation of the etching process from a relatively new reproductive technique into a true art form, along with Jacques Callot. His reputation as the greatest etcher in the history of the medium was established in his lifetime and never questioned since. Few of his paintings left the Dutch Republic while he lived, but his prints were circulated throughout Europe, and his wider reputation was initially based on them alone.to

Woman Bathing Her Feet in a Brook
Etching on paper
New Hollstein's 309, second state of II
Signed and dated "Rembrandt f. 1658" (upper left)
Created from observations of a live model, this work started as a figure study before evolving into a more imaginative setting. It remains ambiguous whether the scene is set indoors, as suggested by the cushion the figure is seated on, or outdoors, indicated by the foliage in the background. The omission of her feet, suggesting they may be dangling in a brook, adds a charming touch to Rembrandt’s imaginative scene. The figure seems unaware of the viewer, presenting a dignified yet sensual demeanor.
The son of a miller, Rembrandt van Rijn is believed to have been born in Leiden on July 15, 1606. He studied first at the Latin School and then was enrolled at the University of Leiden at the age of 14. He soon left to study art—first with a local master, Jacob van Swanenburch, and then, in Amsterdam, with Pieter Lastman...

Notes:
Provenance: private collection - Green Bay, WI; acquired from Sotheby's, New York, NY in c. 2015. The artist Lambrecht Hopfer's printed monogram signature "LH" lower right. The printer/publisher David Funck's (plate) number "182" lower right. This etching is after Albrecht Dürer’s 1511 engraving "The Crucifixion (Christ on the Cross)", ("Dürer-Katalog" - Meder No. 13, page 73). Printed in black from an iron plate. The image depicts Christ on the cross at center, the Virgin at left, two Maries behind her, St. John standing at right, a Roman solider behind him. It is after the eleventh plate of Dürer's sixteen plates from his 1507-1513 "The Engraved Passion" series, ("Dürer-Katalog" - Meder No. 3-18, page 70-74).
"The print was originally designed without the number engraved in the lower margin (First state: Lambrecht Hopfer, c. 1530). The Hopfers' descendant David Funck (Nuremberg, 1642–1705) acquired over two hundred of their original iron plates, engraved numbers into them, and re-printed them around 1686-1700. The "182" indicates that "The Crucifixion" was the 182nd print in Funck’s series (Second state: David Funck, c. 1686-1700). About a century later, 92 of these plates were acquired by Carl Wilhelm Silberberg in Frankfurt and printed for the third and final time in the book "Opera Hopferiana", of which "The Crucifixion" was the 90th print (Third state: Carl Wilhelm Silberberg for "Opera Hopferiana", 1802)". - Elizabeth Upper, Cambridge University Library, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK

The Blindness of Tobit: The Larger Plate by Rembrandt van Rijn
By Rembrandt van Rijn
Located in New Orleans, LA
Rembrandt van Rijn
1606-1669 Dutch
The Blindness of Tobit: The Larger Plate
Etching on paper
The New Hollstein Dutch 265 first state (of II)
Signed and dated "Rembrandt f. 1651" (lower right)
The Blindness of Tobit: the Larger Plate is an extraordinary etching and drypoint by the master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1651. This work captures a poignant moment from the apocryphal Book of Tobit (Tobit 11: 5-11), where the blind Tobit, in his anxious anticipation, knocks over a spinning wheel as he rushes to greet his long-lost son. This etching exemplifies Rembrandt's unparalleled ability to convey deep emotion and narrative complexity through the etching technique.
In this finely detailed etching, Rembrandt uses light and shadow to heighten the emotional impact of the scene. The dark ink behind Tobit emphasizes his isolation, while the brightness of his beard, untouched by ink, draws attention to his anguished expression. The careful composition, with everyday objects such as the spinning wheel and fish hanging from the hearth, adds depth to the narrative, illustrating Tobit's impoverished life. The small dog nestled into Tobit's garment symbolizes his son's approaching return.
The son of a miller, Rembrandt van Rijn is believed to have been born in Leiden on July 15, 1606. He studied first at the Latin School and then was enrolled at the University of Leiden at the age of 14. He soon left to study art—first with a local master, Jacob van Swanenburch, and then, in Amsterdam, with Pieter Lastman...

Jan Uytenbogaert, the Goldweigher
Etching on paper
The New Hollstein Dutch 172 second state (of three)
Signed and dated "Rembrandt f. 1639" (lower left)
Rembrandt's Jan Uytenbogaert, the Goldweigher is an exceptional etching that captures the essence of Holland’s Receiver-General, or chief tax collector, at work. This highly detailed and intimate portrait demonstrates Rembrandt’s masterful ability to combine narrative depth with technical brilliance, offering a glimpse into both the professional and personal life of Uytenbogaert, who played a pivotal role in the artist's own life. Rembrandt likely created this etching as a gesture of thanks to Jan Uytenbogaert, who helped the artist secure a house in Amsterdam in 1639. At the time, Rembrandt was short on funds, awaiting payment for his works for Frederik Hendrik, Prince of Orange. Uytenbogaert’s successful intervention allowed Rembrandt to complete the purchase soon after.
In this etching, Rembrandt depicts Uytenbogaert seated at a carpet-covered table, meticulously weighing gold with a set of scales while recording payments in a ledger. The scene is rich with detail: a servant kneels beside him, accepting a bag of gold, while a couple waits to enter with more gold. Rembrandt's use of light and shadow adds depth and drama, particularly in the portrayal of Uytenbogaert’s luxurious fur coat and hat, rendered with delicate drypoint lines.

The Ringball Player
Etching on paper
New Hollstein’s first state of two

Among the foremost figures of the Old Masters, the esteemed Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn is often regarded as the preeminent etcher in art history. As the most significant Dutch printmaker, his body of work includes nearly 300 authenticated prints, marked by pioneering techniques that set new standards in the medium. This exceptional etching, titled The Ringball Player, exemplifies the intricate artistry and meticulous detail that distinguish Rembrandt's prints.
This print is closely related to the ones of the early life of Christ, etched in the same year, and of a similar size, using long straight hatching lines to model the figures and the background. In Rembrandt’s oeuvre, this is also one of the very rare subject matters connected with sports and leisure time. The title refers to ringball, a reference to a form of indoor croquet...

New Hollstein Dutch 252: second state of two
Signed and dated lower left: Rembrandt. f. 1650 / (d and 6 en verso)
Among the very best of the Old Masters stands the revered Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn, arguably the greatest etcher in the history of art. The most important Dutch printmaker of all time, his oeuvre features close to 300 authenticated prints, and his innovative techniques in the medium are without precedent. This superb etching, entitled Canal with a Large Boat and a Bridge, displays the artistry and detail for which Rembrandt's prints are renowned.
This small and exquisite landscape is often understood to be the pendant of another small etching from the same year, Canal with an Angler and Two Swans(NH 253), based on their similar size, style and rounded platemark above. The typical Dutch motif of a boat moored in a canal is enriched here with a rocky landscape in the left background among other picturesque elements. This composition is a very fine, warm impression with significant burr, from the second state.
