Etchings by Rembrandt are on exhibition in the Print Room of the Fogg Art Museum. All of the prints shown are from the collection of the Museum.
These etchings cover the whole period of Rembrandt's career, and illustrate the entire range of subjects used by the master--religious, allegorical, landscape, and portrait, in all of which there is a profound human interest. His mastery of technique is shown alike in such subjects as "Christ and His Disciples," etched with greatest abstraction, and the "Hundred Guilder Print," where details in the shadows have been worked out with extreme care. There are prints from his early period, executed entirely with the etching needle; others dating--from the middle of his career, when he used dry-point in connection with etching; and those of a later period worked entirely in dry-point.
