Abstract
It is now widely believed that Rembrandt started making prints as early as 1625-1626, and that the Circumcision, the Rest on the Flight into Egypt and the Flight into Egypt are his first etchings. In this paper the author attributes the first two of these prints to Jan Lievens and shows that the Flight into Egypt should be dated a few years later than has usually been conjectured. A number of arguments indicate that Rembrandt started etching as late as 1628, and that he must have bought a printing press the following year.
期刊介绍:
Artibus et Historiae is a journal dedicated to the visual arts, published by IRSA Publishing House. The lavishly illustrated articles cover a broad range of subjects, including photography and film, as well as traditional topics of scholarly art research. Artibus et Historiae particularly encourages interdisciplinary studies - art history in conjunction with other humanistic fields, such as psychology, sociology, philosophy, or literature - and unconventional approaches. Thus it is hoped that the current trends in art history will be well represented in our issues. Artibus et Historiae appears twice a year, in hardback. The articles are in one of four languages: English, Italian, German, or French, at the author"s discretion.
