Printmaking in the Time of Rembrandt
In this course we will study a selection of seventeenth-century Dutch prints from the collection of the Middlebury College Museum of Art, which includes etchings and engravings by artists such as Hendrick Golztius, Rembrandt van Rijn, Adriaen van Ostade, Nicolaes Berchem, and Cornelis Dusart, among others. In this hands-on course students will learn how to research and write catalogue entries for a selection of these works by engaging directly with the objects in the collection. By the end of the course, we will produce a small catalogue featuring our short essays.
