A Corpus of Rembrandt Paintings : Volume 6 : Rembrandt's Paintings Revisited - A Complete Survey.
The sixth and final volume of the 'Corpus' provides a complete and revised overview of the entire painted oeuvre (with a change in order of working and methodology not present in earlier volumes of the Corpus). The texts include "What is a Rembrant? A Personal Account" detailing the author's long engagement with the Rembrandt Research Project. The second chapter discusses "What is a non-Rembrandt?" There are iconographical, lists of locations of the artists works, and a bibliography. There is a chronologically organized checklist of the approximately 340 paintings the authors consider to be authentic. Each painting is reproduced (pp.70-477), with notes to the plates following (pp. 480-687). The present volume reattributes 70 works to Rembrandt, including a number of paintings rejected in earlier volumes (some of which had previously been set out in corrigenda of vols. 4 & 5 and elsewhere in the Corpus, but are listed here again). The catalogue includes a glossary, concordance, a chronological register of works, and multiple indices.
