PIERPONT MORGAN COLLECTION HELD AT THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY NOVEMBER i, 1917 TO MARCH 31, 1918 \3'^fi^h >\ OF THE UNIVEKSITY NEW YORK I917 foini iJ-106 [x-2ii-17 2mJ EXHIBITION OF ETCHINGS BY REMBRANDT FROM THE J. PIERPONT MORGAN COLLECTION By Frank Weitenkampf, L.H.D. Chief of the Art and Prints Division THE Prints Division of The New York Public Library has arranged an exhibition of about 170 etchings by Rembrandt, selected from the J. Pierpont Morgan Collection. Recurring exhibitions of Rembrandt's etched work are as interesting, as desirable, and as inevitable as are the performances of the plays of Shakespeare or the symphonies of Beethoven. The present exhibition consists of a selec- tion of the artist's best plates, in impressions usually impeccable, and often in states of great rarity. It offers the delight of renewed acquaintance to the practised connoisseur and the opportunity of study for those less experienced. Rembrandt's range and power as an etcher are illustrated in a remarkably adequate manner, as the selections have been chosen with the aim of making the exhibition representative. The chronological arrangement of an artist's work serves best for the study of his progressive development, especially when his productions are as numerous, as diverse in subject-matter, as varying in changing manner of expression as are these etchings by Rembrandt. Classification by subject (i. e., portraits, landscapes, religious, genre) as indicated by Bartsch, has generally, but not always, been followed in Rembrandt exhibitions. On the initiative of Sir Seymour Haden, the Burlington Fine Arts Club's exhibition of 1877 was arranged chronologically, as were those of the Boston Museum (1887) and the British Museum (1899). For the permanent collection of Rem- brandt's etchings in the British Museum a similar course was followed, and A. M. Hind's catalogue of that collection has been employed in the arrange- ment of the present exhibition. The visitor will thus be able to follow the unfolding of Rembrandt's art throughout the three periods (1628-39, 1640- 49, 1650-61) into which Haden divided it according to style and method. Later, the exhibition will be rearranged and classified by subjects. This unusual plan will give an opportunity to study the prints both by chronological arrangement and according to subject matter. In a number of instances the same plate appears in several states, showing additions and changes made by the artist. This is a matter of obvious interest to the student, who is further served by the penciled notes on the mats of the prints, giving title, date, state, and names of former owners. The list of owners reads like a roll-call of well-known collectors, with such names as Irwin, Buccleugh, Aylesford, Vanderbilt, and many others of note. In addi- [3] 4 THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY tion, numerous labels with citations from various authorities accompany the prints in the present exhibition. Such information has in the past been found to be interesting and helpful to visitors in the Library's print gallery. The attraction of Rembrandt, the supreme master in his sphere, is a thing apart from, and above, considerations of technique merely, or of elegance or grace of treatment, or grandeur or beauty of subject. It is a matter pre- eminently of personality. As W. H. Downes says, common, every-day people and episodes are presented with a "whole-souled understanding and sympathy" which "leave an ineffaceable impression of the grandeur of the humblest and most ordinary of subjects when they are seen through a great temperament." Beyond Rembrandt's keenness of observation, wonderful draughtsmanship, masterly control of the medium he employed (ranging from the most summary indication, as in "Six's Bridge," to a mezzotint-like completeness of effect, as in the portrait of Jan Six) is the intangible element of his humanness, something not to be analyzed, "the spirit," as Binyon has it, "of one of the fullest, deepest natures that ever breathed." The exhibition, obviously of the greatest importance, will be on view until the end of March. A list of the prints follows. ETCHINGS BY REMBRANDT SELECTED FROM THE COLLECTION OF J.
