Drawings by Rembrandt and His Pupils: Telling the Difference

Rembrandt was the most famous painter of the Dutch Golden Age, and the opportunity to work in his studio attracted young artists for nearly four decades, until the artist’s death in 1669. This catalogue explores the workings of Rembrandt’s studio in the form of drawings made by the master himself and fifteen of his pupils. Rembrandt and his students would often depict the same subject matter as an exercise and make drawings of the same nude models.
 Organized chronologically, Drawings by Rembrandt and His Pupils: Telling the Difference is a groundbreaking study that presents more than forty works by Rembrandt and related works by his pupils. It explores the scholarship of recent decades that has brought new and more systematic criteria to bear on determining the authenticity of Rembrandt drawings, and defines the styles of his pupils and followers with ever-greater precision.
This is an essential book for anyone interested in the Dutch Golden Age or the lives and careers of Rembrandt and the artists in his immediate circle.

The Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) was one of the greatest draftsman of all time. Even small and quick sketches reveal his incomparable skill in capturing compositions, figures, groups, human gestures, facial expressions and landscapes with just a few strokes. Although some of Rembrandt's drawings served as preparatory studies for paintings and etchings, most are conceptual works in which he investigated motifs of movement and expression, recording ideas for his own works and those produced by pupils in his studio. Encompassing works from Rembrandt's entire career, this compact and exquisitely produced monograph presents the full spectrum of the genres and materials used in the drawings. In addition, recent scholarship has revealed that many drawings once attributed to Rembrandt were in fact done by his pupils. Of the 126 drawings in the important Berlin collection from which this volume draws its illustrations, only 55 are still considered original works by the master. Each of these is presented here within a scholarly text by Holm Bevers. As well, a selection of 25 drawings by Rembrandt's pupils is examined in light of the most recent research.

Nicht nur Rembrandt, der groate Kunstler in Hollands Goldenem Jahrhundert, war ein groaartiger Zeichner, sondern auch seine zahlreichen Schuler und Mitarbeiter. Diese konnten sich dem pragenden Einfluss des Meisters nicht entziehen. Sie behandelten nicht nur dieselben Themen wie jener, sie zeichneten sogar in seinem Stil. Das fuhrte schon bald zu Verwechslungen von Arbeiten Rembrandts und der Mitarbeiter, die meisten Zeichnungen im Stil des Meisters galten als Werke von seiner Hand. Doch hat sich in den letzten Jahren die Beurteilung grundlegend verandert: Viele der einst Rembrandt zugeschriebenen Blatter werden heute als Werke seiner Schuler und Mitarbeiter betrachtet. Die vorliegende Publikation, die den 2006 erschienenen Katalog der eigenhandigen Arbeiten Rembrandts im weltberuhmten Bestand des Berliner Kupferstichkabinetts erganzt, dokumentiert diejenigen Zeichnungen, die heute Schulern wie Gerbrand van den Eeckhout, Ferdinand Bol, Willem Drost, Arent de Gelder und anonymen Meistern zugewiesen werden. Die Aussonderung aus dem Werk Rembrandts und die Zuordnung zu anderen Kunstlern ist das Ergebnis der kennerschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung mit diesem komplizierten zeichnerischen Komplex. Uber 150 Zeichnungen werden mit kritischen Einzelbeitragen behandelt.
