Grounds in Rembrandt’s workshop and in the paintings by his contemporaries Karin Groen Netherlands Institute for Cultural Heritage Rembrandt Research Project

‘Self-portrait’ Stuttgart

Research Kühn 1962 to painting attributed to Rembrandt 10 shop works or contemporary copies 38 other Dutch painters from the 17th to 19th century By 1965, the grounds of 122 paintings on canvas and panel from various periods ascribed to Rembrandt had been examined.

New sampling necessary for obtaining insight into the occurrence and distribution of the quartz ground! Criteria for sampling: Paintings by Rembrandt and those ascribed to him: As many works on canvas as possible from Bredius (1935) Pictures by Amsterdam painters who had nothing to do with Rembrandt Pictures made between 1640 (Night Watch) and 1669 (Rembrandt’s death)

Results 160 canvas paintings investigated 125 of these made after on a quartz ground: almost half of the production None of the 60 non-Rembrandt paintings made in Amsterdam has a quartz ground

Canvasses with a quartz ground were used exclusively in Rembrandt’s workshop These canvasses must have been prepared in Rembrandt’s workshop This find provides a strong supplementary criterion for attributing paintings: Every Rembrandtesque painting on a quartz ground derives from Rembrandt’s studio !!

What could have been the reason for Rembrandt using quartz grounds? Quartz ground is clay with a high proportion of ground up sand River clay as used by potters and for making bricks, recommended for priming canvases in written sources, abroad.
