Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669)The 50 Rembrandt prints in the DAC Collection (all but 4 the gift of George Davison) represent the artist's career as printmaker from the early 1630s until the time of his death. The collection's single most important work is Rembrandt's Three Crosses in a superb impression of the final state. Holdings include his self-portraits; religious themes (such as Angel Appearing to the Shepherds and Christ Presented to the People); landscapes (The Three Trees and Cottage Beside a Canal); genre subjects (Beggars Receiving Alms); and portraits (Clement de Jonghe). Added to the DAC's representative holdings is comparative material in different states of the same image, copies, and posthumous printings (such as Baillie's reworked 100 Guilder Print), which offer rich resources for classes and individuals engaged in Rembrandt studies. This information was accurate as of 1997, but since then it has been integrated into the DAC's illustrated collections pages. The museum keeps this legacy page online for the convenience of those who may have bookmarked it or who find it via a link from another site or a search engine, but we recommend that most users consult our current collections pages.
