- Public Note:
- Unlike the first 3 volumes, which were chronological, Volume 4 is devoted to Rembrandt's self-portraits from all periods. The remaining volumes of the Corpus were undertaken under the direction of Ernst van de Wetering.
The present volume catalogues Rembrandt's 29 painted self-portraits and numerous etched self-portraits. Volume 4 does not follow the (A-B-C) classification system of the first three volumes.
It also includes corrigenda and addenda for vols. 1-3 (both self-portraits and paintings of other subjects).
Texts include an essay on the problems of authenticity in Rembrandt's self-portraits, a discussion of dress and costume in the self-portraits, and biographical information for the period 1642-1669. There are tables of dendochronological data, information on paint layers, and grounds used in Rembrandt's workshop and those of his contemporaries.
