[Consdistlist] PROGRAMME NOW ONLINE - Symposium Rembrandt Conservation Histories, Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, 8/9 November 2018

[Esther van Duijn - PhD]

On 8 and 9 November 2018, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam 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 programme is now available online: 
https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/nl/rembrandt-conservation-histories

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.

Important date: early bird registration closes on 13 September 2018.
