Rembrandts Religious Prints: The Feddersen Collection at the Snite Museum of Art: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Rembrandts Religious Prints: The Feddersen Collection at the Snite Museum of Art" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Rembrandts stunning religious prints stand as evidence of the Dutch masters extraordinary skill as a technician and as a testament to his genius as a teller of tales. Here, several virtually unknown etchings, collected by the Feddersen family and now preserved for the ages at the University of Notre Dame, are made widely available in a lavishly illustrated volume. Building on the contributions of earlier Rembrandt scholars, noted art historian Charles M. Rosenberg illuminates each of the 70 religious prints through detailed background information on the artists career as well as the historical, religious, and artistic impulses informing their creation. Readers will enjoy an impression of the earliest work, The Circumcision (1625-26); the famous Hundred Guilder Print; the enigmatic eighth state of Christ Presented to the People; one of a handful of examples of the very rare final posthumous state of The Three Crosses; and an impression and counterproof of The Triumph of Mordecai. From the joyous epiphany of the coming of the Messiah to the anguish of the betrayal of a father (Jacob) by his children, from choirs of angels waiting to receive the Virgin into heaven to the dog who defecates in the road by an ancient inn (The Good Samaritan), Rembrandts etchings offer a window into the nature of faith, aspiration, and human experience, ranging from the ecstatically divine to the worldly and mundane. Ultimately, these prints modest, intimate, fragile objectsare great works of art which, like all masterpieces, reward us with fresh insights and discoveries at each new encounter.

PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

T he literature on Rembrandts art in general, and prints in particular, is vast and constantly growing. Two recent publications in the field have been particularly useful in the preparation of this catalog. The first is Shelley Perlove and Larry Silvers magisterial consideration of Rembrandts works with religious themes, Rembrandts Faith: Church and Temple in the Dutch Golden Age (2009). The authors discussion of the iconography of these works is thorough and provocative. Their perceptive interpretations demand serious attention and are therefore addressed in numerous entries throughout this catalog. The second significant recent work is the set of volumes dedicated to Rembrandts prints in The New Hollstein Dutch and Flemish Etchings, Engravings and Woodcuts, 14501700 series (2013), compiled by Erik Hinterding and Jaco Rutgers, and edited by Ger Luijten. The individual entries by Hinterding and Rutgers include a wealth of information concerning the various states of individual prints, the location of existing impressions, and the history of Rembrandts copperplates, a number of which still survive. In addition, the authors of the New Hollstein volumes have proposed revisions to the previously accepted dating of several works, including a number of those discussed in this catalog. Since their chronology is based not only on stylistic considerations, but also on the more objective criterion of the history of watermarks, it has been adopted here.

The tombstone header for each print in this catalog records the numbers assigned to the work in four standard catalogs of Rembrandts prints: Adam von Bartsch (B.), Catalogue raisonn de toutes les estampes qui forment loeuvre de Rembrandt, 1797; Arthur Hind (H.), A Catalogue of Rembrandts Etchings, 1923; Ludwig Mnz (Mz.), A Critical Catalogue of Rembrandts Etchings, 1952; and Erik Hinterding and Jaco Rutgers, the New Hollstein volumes on Rembrandt cited above (NHD).

Adam von Bartsch arranged his material by subject matter: self-portraits; Old Testament and New Testament subjects; saints; allegorical and fancy subjects; beggars; nudes, and free and mythological subjects; landscapes; portraits of men and studies of unidentified men; studies of women; and miscellaneous subjects. This is the order that is followed in the Snite Museum catalog, which includes one self-portrait and subjects from the Old and New Testaments. However, since Bartsch did not usually list different examples of the same subject, for example the Flight into Egypt, in chronological order, and since it is useful to consider how Rembrandts treatment of a theme changed over time, entries in this catalog have been arranged first by subject and then by date. As a result, there are some deviations from the order found in Bartschs catalog.

The titles of Rembrandts prints are primarily descriptive. This tradition dates back to the seventeenth century, specifically to the sales catalogs of print dealers such as Clement de Jonghe. and which have most recently been utilized by Hinterding and Rutgers in the Rembrandt volumes in The New Hollstein catalog. With very few exceptions, initial articles, e.g., a and the, have been omitted.

Plate dimensions are taken from Hinterding and Rutgerss New Holstein catalog, as is the number of states for each plate. Unless otherwise noted, all prints are on laid paper.

Finally, a project of this scope is not the result of a single individuals work. Over the years, I have benefited from the assistance and expertise of many people, including John Feddersen, Ann Feddersen, David Tunick, Armin Kunz, Julia Quinn, Emily Kretschmer, Eric Huston, Elizabeth Murphy, Paul Crenshaw, Larry Silver, Gary Schwartz, Eva Frojmovic, Roger Kuin, John van Engen, Randall Zachman, Gary Dunham, Carol Kennedy, Nancy Light-foot, Stephen Spiro, Charles Loving, Rebeka Cerevolo, and Cheryl Snay. I am grateful for all of their contributions. Above all, I should like to thank Carol Weiss Rosenberg for her inestimable contributions to this catalog. This project might never have been completed without her patience, editorial acumen, and astute critical insights.

This catalog is published in part with generous support from the Fritz and Mildred Kaeser Endowment for Liturgical Art.
