All 26 Rembrandt paintings from the Gemäldegalerie now online
13 December 2016
The extensive art-historical information and the visual and textual data that has emerged from technical analyses of all 26 Rembrandt paintings in the collection of the Berlin Gemäldegalerie are now available in The Rembrandt Database.
The Gemäldegalerie presides over one of the most comprehensive collections of Rembrandt paintings in the world. These paintings have been the subject of a long-term interdisciplinary research project, made possible by the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin. All relevant information covered in the project has been made accessible to the public as part of the online Rembrandt Database. The database offers the documentation in the form of high quality digital files with extensive associated metadata, which will be useful for new research.
We would like to thank Dr. Katja Kleinert (research associate, history of art, Gemäldegalerie) and Claudia Laurenze-Landsberg (research associate, art technology and expert in neutron-activation autoradiographs, Gemäldegalerie) for the pleasant collaboration and for sharing their data in the Rembrandt Database.
