Colloque : “Rembrandt Conservation Histories”.

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn , portrait de Marten Soolmans, 1634, huile sur toile, 210 x 135 cm.

Type : colloque.
Date et horaire : 8 et 9 novembre 2018 .
Lieu :  Rijkmuseum, Amsterdam.

On 8 and 9 November 2018, the Rijksmuseum will host an international symposium on the history of conservation of paintings by Rembrandt van Rijn. The aim is to heighten awareness of how the appearance and condition of paintings by Rembrandt can (partly) be explained by their treatment history.

The symposium is organised on the occasion of the research and treatment of the portraits of Marten Soolmans and Oopjen Coppit by Rembrandt van Rijn, jointly owned by the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the Musée du Louvre in Paris.

Important masterpieces in museum collections, such as the paintings by Rembrandt, often have the dubious honour to have undergone numerous conservation treatments in the past. Because of the significance of the paintings, these treatments are generally well documented. Every country has its own traditions, developments and approaches to conservation, with important restorers who have played a key role in the treatment and appearance of Rembrandt paintings.

The deadline for Early bird registration has been extended to 21 October 2018 23:59 UTC.
