Prints of the 17th and 18th Centuries

About the exhibition

Colby College Art Museum presented seventeenth- and eighteenth-century prints in 1962. The documented selection includes Rembrandt’s landscapes and portraits, each associated with a particular surviving impression and a specific exhibition catalogue number. Exact surviving examples are Rembrandt van Rijn’s Jan Asselijn (c. 1647; etching, drypoint and burin), listed as no. 19 and Rembrandt van Rijn’s Cottage beside a Canal (c. 1645; etching), listed as no. 16. This is a partial checklist reconstructed from the objects’ museum histories; precise opening and closing days remain unknown.
