Rembrandt Sold at Auction Prices

Painter, Etcher, Flower painter, b. 1606 - d. 1669

Dutch artist Rembrandt Harmensz, whose full birth name was Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, is considered one of the most revered artists in all of history. Rembrandt paintings for sale are very rare, but do come up at private and public auctions on occasion. Pieter Lastman, a mentor of Rembrandt's, helped him master his techniques to do the historical and religious paintings he became famous for.

Artist Rembrandt Harmensz used his skills in etching and painting to create multiple self-portraits and biblical scenes. Emphasis on blending light and dark pigments draws attention to the subject, and this method was used for the background in most of Rembrandt Harmensz's prints and paintings. You can purchase artwork by other popular painters throughout history, by viewing inspiring genre prints for sale online.

REMBRANDT VAN RIJN Clement de Jonghe, Printseller.
Est: $2,500 - $3,500
REMBRANDT VAN RIJN Clement de Jonghe, Printseller. Etching and drypoint, 1651. 208x161 mm; 8¼x6¼ inches, thread margins. Biörklund's sixth state (of 6); Usticke's fifth state (of 9); White and Boon's sixth state (of 6); New Hollstein's sixth state (of 10), before the extensive reworking. A very good, dark and well-inked impression, with strong contrasts, and little to no sign of wear. Clement de Jonghe (1624/25-1677) was among the most significant Amsterdam print and map dealers and publishers during the mid-17th century and would certainly have been associated with Rembrandt (1606-1669), though there is no indication, through letters or in the inventory drawn up after Clement de Jonghe's death, that this was a commissioned portrait from Rembrandt. De Jonghe's business prospered from at least around 1647 to 1679, run posthumously for several years following his death by his widow Jacomijntje Jacobs, until his stock was sold at auction. De Jonghe acquired at least 74 of Rembrandt's original etched copper plates, probably during Rembrandt's lifetime, and these were all sold in the contents of his estate auction.

REMBRANDT VAN RIJN Christ Receiving the Children and Healing the Sick (The Hundred Guilder Print).
Est: $4,000 - $6,000
REMBRANDT VAN RIJN Christ Receiving the Children and Healing the Sick (The Hundred Guilder Print). Etching, engraving and drypoint, center section only, circa 1648. 278x191 mm; 11x7½ inches, narrow margins. Biörklund's second state (of 2); Usticke's fifth state (of 5); White and Boon's second state (of 2); New Hollstein's fourth state A (of 4 B), the rectangular plate (before the arched upper section), after the plate was cut into sections by William Baillie. Small bunch of grapes watermark. A very good, dark, well-inked impression with strong contrasts and all the details distinct. The original copper plate for this etching was owned by a Dutch collector after Rembrandt's (1606-1669) death and was sold to the American artist John Greenwood (1727-1792) around 1775. Greenwood originally worked in Boston and during the early 1770s relocated to London, where in addition to continuing to practice as a portrait painter and engraver, he became a successful art dealer. He owned The Hundred Guilder Print plate for just a short time, selling it to Captain William Baillie (1723-1810), an officer in the English army and a professional printmaker, who after acquiring the plate, reworked it and issued an "edition" of some 100 impressions before ultimately cutting up the plate, and further printing impressions from four different pieces of the plate. According to a summary of this important etching by Luijten, "That it is known in only two 17th century states, with the minor difference between them of additional shading over the neck of the donkey on the right and the far wall of the archway, belies the exceptional effort that the plate represents in terms of imaginative power, technical brilliance and pictorial finish. Rembrandt applies every tool at his command and in a variety of styles, from the freely outlined Pharisees in debate on the left, flooded in light, to the precise rendering of the textures that apparel the figures who enter from the right. All the groups are subjugated to the overriding chiaroscuro, which ranges from the deep blacks into which Christ's halo melts away, to the areas left white which suggest a sudden source of startling illumination. The play of shadows is nowhere made more manifest than by the dark silhouette cast on Christ's robe by the central figure with praying hands," ( Rembrandt the Printmaker, London, 2000, pages 253-54).

REMBRANDT VAN RIJN Jan Asselijn, Painter ("Krabbetje"). Etching, engraving and drypoint, circa 1647. 190x170 mm; 7½x6¾ inches. Biörklund's fourth state (of 4); Usticke's fourth state (of 6); White and Boon's fourth state (of 3); New Hollstein's fourth state (of 4). Trimmed on the plate mark on three sides and inside the plate mark upper edge into the blank background, with the full composition preserved. A very good impression with strong contrasts. This is Rembrandt's (1606-1669) portrait of fellow artist and Dutch landscape painter Asselijn (circa 1614-1652), known as "Krabbetje." Asselijn's left hand was deformed (which Rembrandt has disguised, tucked into the artist's hip) and during his stay in Rome fellow members of the Dutch painters' association, "De Bentvueghels," nicknamed him "krabbetje"--Dutch for "little crab."
