About this book

Catalog of the exhibition at Museum Het Rembrandthuis, Amsterdam (October 1, 2015 to January 24, 2016). Explores the phenomenal development of printmaking in the Low Countries in the 16th and 17th centuries and Rembrandt's role in it. Features prints selected from the collections of three individuals who have been generous enough to share some of their prints with a wider public. These collections have been amassed in the last 35 years, and all three specialize in 16th and 17th century prints, but each has its own particular emphasis. Complementing one another, they provide a splendid overview of Netherlandish printmaking in those centuries. Includes an introduction by Erik Ariëns Kappers and entries by Jaco Rutgers, David de Witt, Jaap van der Veen, Leonore van Sloten, and others.
