Art historians originally believed the work to be an original created in 1629 when the artist was 23-years-old. Until the 1990s, the consensus among Dutch Golden Age art historians was that the Mauritshuis had the original, while the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg had a later copy. This began to change, however, when scans revealed underdrawings in the Mauritshuis version, something that Rembrandt rarely did. Soon, the consensus began to shift, and more scholars concluded that <a href=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/f\/fe\/Rembrandt_van_Rijn_184.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Nuremberg version was, in fact, the original<\/a>, while the Mauritshuis version was a copy created by Rembrandt\u2019s studio. The announcement by the Mauritshuis last week is the conclusion of years of academic debate and scientific inquiry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The second of the three paintings is an example of a <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">tronie<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. These were a common style of figure painting during the Dutch Golden Age, where an artist would create a portrait not of a specific <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">individual,<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> but of a generic character. Johannes Vermeer\u2019s <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Girl with a Pearl Earring<\/span><\/em> <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">is an example of<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> this style. The painting in question is a <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">tronie <\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">of an old man previously part of the collection of Abraham Bredius, the museum\u2019s former director. For many years, some considered the painting a portrait of Rembrandt\u2019s father. However, <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/e\/e0\/Harman_Gerrits_%28Rembrandt%27s_father%29.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">an actual portrait of the artist\u2019s father<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> put this assumption to bed. It has been difficult to verify if the painting is an original by the artist since the work is in poor condition. The most recent tests concluded that much of the background <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">was made<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> using the pigment verditer, which was not available in the Netherlands around 1630. However, much of the pigment examined came from several layers of overpainting applied in the early eighteenth century. Museum specialists have not yet found the correct solvent that would allow them to remove these layers of overpainting and examine the original work. Like the self-portrait, for the time being, museum experts now say that <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tronie of an Old Man<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> was most likely created by one of Rembrandt\u2019s students.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_56474\" style=\"width: 219px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/560.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-56474\" class=\"wp-image-56474\" src=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/560-251x300.jpg\" alt=\"A 17th portrait of an older man.\" width=\"209\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/560-251x300.jpg 251w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/560-855x1024.jpg 855w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/560-768x920.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/560-1283x1536.jpg 1283w, https:\/\/rehs.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/560.jpg 1670w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 209px) 100vw, 209px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-56474\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Study of an Old Man<\/em> by a student or follower of Rembrandt van Rijn<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The final painting to have its attribution rescinded was <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Study of an Old Man<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. Similarly to Tronie of an Old Man, some believed the painting shows one of the artist\u2019s relatives, in this case his brother Adriaen. Regarding the work\u2019s authenticity, one of the main points of contention among museum specialists was the artist\u2019s signature. It can be faintly seen <\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mauritshuis.nl\/media\/30sfowgu\/560_detail.jpg?width=1503&amp;quality=70&amp;v=1d7322627bea2f0'\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">over the subject\u2019s shoulder<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> on the left side of the canvas. The signature appears to be Rembrandt\u2019s authentic signature, which was applied while the paint was still wet. However, the date underneath it seems to have been added by someone else later. This and some small stylistic differences noticed after specialists completed conservation work have led Mauritshuis to believe that the work is not an original by Rembrandt. It\u2019s also probably not a copy of an original, unlike the other two works. Rather, they think it is a painting by a member of the artist\u2019s studio in an attempt to imitate the style of his master. Several prominent artists trained in Rembrandt\u2019s studio, including Carel Fabritius and Isaac de Jouderville. Some point to Gerrit Dou as the most likely creator of the self-portrait. As for the others, who knows?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mauritshuis in The Hague has announced that three of their paintings previously classified as originals by Rembrandt can no longer be attributed as such.
