Rembrandt van Rijn Prints and Multiples

Rembrandt van Rijn 1606-1669 Dutch The Ringball Player Etching on paper New Hollstein’s first state of two Signed and dated lower left: Rembrandt F. 1654 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...

Rembrandt van Rijn 1606-1669 Dutch Canal with a Large Boat and a Bridge Etching on paper 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. The son of a miller...

This stunning etching was realized by the baroque master Rembrandt van Rijs in Holland, 1634. The composition pictures Jesus Christ with a hand outstretched, identified with his long flowing locks, donning a robe with a his hand outstretched as he addressed the female figure next to him. The lady holds the well chain with the bucket of freshly drawn water resting on the edge of the cobbled rock well. The lady looks on in rapt attention, one hand resting on the crumbling edge of a embankment. In the background there are a series of archways, and two men in the midst of gossiping (perhaps at the sight of Jesus). Rembrandt executed the etching in delicate chiaroscuro that masterfully illustrates the light, perspective and emotion of the scene as only he is able to. The work depicts Jesus Christ and the woman of Samaria recalling the passage from the biblical verse John 4:5-30 in which Jesus speaks to a peasant Samaritan woman fetching water from a well. "There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, 'Give me a drink.' For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. The Samaritan woman said to him, 'How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria?' For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. The parable demonstrates Jesus' kind regard for all peoples regardless of social stature. With its elegant composition and incredible artistry (by one of the most influential and celebrated artists of all time), this work promises to delight discerning collectors of historically important works. It represents a winning acquisition for lovers of fine art (especially those with an interest in first rate Renaissance works), and also those with a penchant for religious and biblical art...
