BA Thesis, John Cabot University, Rome, Italy. 2024.https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14490/845Thesis (B.A. in Humanistic Studies)--John Cabot University, Fall 2024.This thesis takes a new look at Rembrandt and his studio’s approach toward copies within the decade of 1625-35. It traces the development of Rembrandt’s practice from copying his teachers, to drawing close inspiration from his contemporaries, to then being copied by his students. Rembrandt also utilized successful elements of his own compositions in other paintings and possibly created second versions of his canvases. Reasons for Rembrandt’s practice of copying are proposed, such as expanding and capitalizing on the sitter’s profile. Copies made to emulate and improve the original can, in some cases, be used to reveal Rembrandt’s ability to paint in both a rough and a smooth manner.xi, 87 pagesenAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, 1606-1669Thesis
