Description From Book News:

"A two-volume catalogue issued to accompany an exhibition at the NY Metropolitan Museum of Art of all of the Museum's paintings by Rembrandt as well as pictures once thought to be by the master but now recognized as the efforts of his pupils, contemporary followers, and the occasional later imitator. In volume I, Paintings: Problems and Issues, the focus is exclusively on paintings, with discussion of both technical and art-historical support for various opinions and elucidation of modern methods of examining the physical properties of paintings. Volume II, Paintings, Drawings, and Prints, addresses the connoisseurship of drawings and prints as well as of paintings, and assumes a more purely art-historical perspective. Following the main essay on Rembrandt's pupils and followers, entries on each work in the exhibition present opinions on issues of attribution." Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or."
