This exhibition allows visitors to discover 21 original etchings by Rembrandt, some by his students, and drawings attributed to Rembrandt or his entourage. Rembrandt’s engravings, belonging to the large collection of Dutch engravings amassed by the Duc d’Aumale, have never been exhibited to the public. A lover of 17th-century Dutch etchings, in the second half of the 19th century the Duc d’Aumale acquired a number of Rembrandt’s soft-ground etchings. He selected prints of the highest quality, For example, Christ Healing the Sick, also known as The Hundred Guilder Print (2nd print on Japanese paper) has an annotation from the hand of the great specialist, Robert-Dumesnil (1778-1864): “‘I do not know a more beautiful print.”
