A magnficent work of art, at which no less a connoisseur than Mr. Charles Sedelmeyer, the well-known dealer and expert in art. in collaboration with Direc- tor Bode, has been working; for fully fifteen years, has at last been completed. It is the richly illustrated edition in eight large volumes of •* L’CEuvre Complet de Rembrandt,” a veritable literary and artistic monument to the great Dutch mas- ter, all of whose works, scattered throughout the world, have here been reproduced in heliogravure, with full descriptive text. The first volume has made its appea- rance, and, as might well have been foreseen, does great credit to the enterprising- editor as well as to France. The Collector, New York, April 1 5 , 1897. Nothing has yet been done, either in honour of any single artist or for the recording of his works, to even approach « The Complete Work of Rembrandt » which is published by M. Sedelmeyer, of Paris.... 11 comes in the shape of a fat folio, of the most sumptuous form of artistic embellishment and typography, and, entirely apart from its magnificence as an art work, is a book of reference no true collector can fail to appreciate. The Art Amateur, New York, December, 1897. The Complete Work of Rembrandt, which Dr. Bode has spent fifteen years in preparing and of which Mr. Sedelmeyer has already issued the first two volumes in truly magnificent style, will reproduce every known painting by the master, one hundred and fifty of them never before published. The Art Amateur, New York, February, 1898. The second volume of Dr. Bode s monumental work, which has just been deli- vered to American subscribers is even richer and more interesting than the first volume, as it reproduces the work of a more advanced period of the master. As compared with the most thorough of his predecessors, Dr. Bode is immensely more full and authoritative. Where he dill'ers from them in regard to individual pictures, the layman will do well, as in most such cases, to pin his faith to the most recent authority. Dr. Bode has had many advantages for which Vosmaer or Michel might sigh in vain. His learning is disputed by no one; and there is throughout his work abundant evidence of a calm judgment and a disposition to examine carefully both sides of every open question. When he admits as genuine works of Rembrandt paintings which other critics have pronounced doubtful, he speaks with precision, while they express themselves in a hesitating manner, and seem ready to withdraw every opinion that they advance. The difference of manner is due. it is safe to say, to real knowledge on the one side and presump- tuous ignorance on the other. Many things have come to light since Michel wrote his book — a great book for its day — and the whole mass of evidence, new and old, has been sifted and weighed with the greatest care by Dr. Bode. The hundreds of photogravures from the original paintings which illustrate his great work are of the highest merit, and are as superior in quality to the illustrations of former works on Rembrandt as they vastly outnumber them. 124 Principal Publications OF CH.

SEDELMEYER PUBLISHER 6, RUE DE LA ROCHEFOUCAULD, PARIS PRESS OPINIONS The Times, London, May 21, 1896. No such monument has ever been erected to any painter. To attempt such a work at all, three things were necessary — photography with its modern deve- lopment, enterprise, and a critical authority as complete as Dr. Bode’s is. The Times, London, April 14, 1897. We commend this book as a wonderful result of modern reconstructive scho- larship, zeal, and enterprise. When the eight volumes are completed, they will be quite indispensable to every library which concerns itself with the history of art. The Times, London, January 7, 1898. The second of the eight volumes of this important and splendid work has just been issued by M. Sedelmeyer and is not less carefully executed than the first. The volume as a whole, like its predecessor, represents all that scholarship, care and money can do towards the erection of a worthy monument to Rem- brandt’s memory. The Daily Chronicle, London, April 29, 1896. These photogravures arc invaluable to students of Rembrandt and are excel- lently produced. The expense, research and energy of Mr. Sedelmeyer in making this collection must have been enormous. All we can say is that the subject is worthy of it, and happy will they be who can become owners of the costly work, which is to be issued in eight volumes. Illustrated London News, April 25 , 1896. I he value and beauty of this collection, which exceeds anything before at- tempted, are beyond controversy. The Daily Telegraph, London, October 22, 1896. The work will be a veritable monument to the genius of the very greatest of all painters. — 125 — American Register, Paris, March 27, 18^7. A magnificent work of art, at which no less a connoisseur than Mr. Charles Scdelmeyer, the well-known dealer and expert in art, in collaboration with Direc- tor Bode, has been working for fully fifteen years, has at last been completed. It is the richly illustrated edition in eight large volumes of “ L’CEuvre Complet de Rembrandt, ” a veritable literary and artistic monument to the great Dutch mas- ter, all of whose works, scattered throughout the world, have here been reproduced in heliogravure, with full descriptive text. The first volume has made its appear- ance, and, as might well have been foreseen, does great credit to the enterprising editor as well as to France. The Collector, New York, April i 5 , 1897. Nothing has yet been done, either in honour of any single artist or for the recording of his works, to even approach « The Complete Work of Rembrandt » which is published by M. Sedelmeyer, of Paris.... It comes in the shape of a fat folio, of the most sumptuous form of artistic embellishment and typography, and, entirely apart from its magnificence as an art work, is a book of reference no true collector can fail to appreciate. The Art Amateur, New York, December, 1897. The Complete Work of Rembrandt, which Dr. Bode has spent fifteen years in preparing, and of which Mr. Sedelmeyer has already issued the first two volumes in truly magnificent style, will reproduce every known painting by the master, one hundred and fifty of them never before published. The Art Amateur, New York, September, 1899. We have already spoken in terms of the highest praise of the first two volumes of this magnificent work. The third is, if possible, still more remarkable. In it, Dr. Bode, as biographer, has reached one of the most interesting periods of Rem- brandt’s artistic career, that immediately succeeding his marriage, and leads with a series of biblical and mythological compositions — and the portraits and studies connected with them — including some of the painter's acknowledged master- pieces. We need rot expatiate on the importance of Dr. Bode’s « Rembrandt » to col- lectors. It promises to be the first really adequate representation of a great painter’s work. Mr. Sedelmeyer's courage, taste, and judgment cannot be too liberally acknowledged. lie is producing a monograph, which will be of inestimable advant- age to all serious students of art, and one which we are entitled to hope will be accepted as a standard for other publications of the kind. It would certainly be difficult to imagine anything more perfect than the way in which the work, literary, artistic, and mechanical, has, thus far, been done. The text is, in its completeness and reliability, worthy of the great artist to which it is devoted, and the illustrations, reproduced by the heliogravure process, are worthy of the text.

SEDELMEYER PUBLISHER 6, RUE DE LA ROCHEFOUCAULD, PARIS PRESS OPINIONS The Times, London, .May 21, 1896. No such monument has ever been erected to any painter. To attempt such a work at all, three things were necessary — photography with its modern deve- lopment, enterprise, and a critical authority as complete as Dr. Mode's is. The Times, London, April 14, 1897. We commend this book as a wonderful result of modern reconstructive scho- larship, zeal, and enterprise. When the eight volumes arc completed, they will be quite indispensable to every library which concerns itself with the history of art. The Times, London, January 7, 1898. The second of the eight volumes of this important and splendid work has just been issued by M. Sedelmeyer and is not less carefully executed than the first. The volume as a whole, like its predecessor, represents all that scholarship, care and money can do towards the erection of a worthy monument to Rem- brandt’s memory. Illustrated London News, April 25 , 1896. 1 he value and beauty of this collection, which exceeds anything before at- tempted, are beyond controversy. The Daily Telegraph, London, October 22, 1896. 1 he work will be a veritable monument to the genius of the very greatest of all painters. American Register, Paris, March 27, 1897. A magnificent work of art, at which no less a connoisseur than Mr. Charles Sedelmeyer, the well-known dealer and expert in art, in collaboration with Direc- tor Bode, has been working for fully fifteen years, has at last been completed. It is the richly illustrated edition in eight large volumes of « l’CEuvre Coniplet de Rembrandt, » a veritable literary and artistic monument to the great Dutch mas- ter, all of whose works, scattered throughout the world, have here been reproduced in heliogravure, with full descriptive text. The first volume has made its appear- ance, and, as might well have been foreseen, does great credit to the enterprising editor as well as to France. The Collector , Xew-York, April i 5 , 1897. Nothing has yet been done, either in honour of any single artist or for the recording of his works, to even approach « The Complete Work of Rembrandt » which is published by M. Sedelmeyer, of Paris.... It comes in the shape of a fat folio, of the most sumptuous form of artistic embellishment and typography, and, entirely apart from its magnificence as an art work, is a book of reference no true collector can fail to appreciate. The Art Amateur, New- York, September, 1899. We have already spoken in terms of the highest praise of the first two volumes of this magnificent work. The third is, if possible, still more remarkable. In it, Dr. Bode, as biographer, has reached one of the most interesting periods of Rem- brandt's artistic career, that immediately succeeding his marriage, and leads with a series of biblical aud mythological compositions — and the portraits and studies connected with them — including some of the painter's acknowledged master- pieces. We need not expatiate on the importance of Dr. Bode’s « Rembrandt » to col- lectors. It promises to be the first really adequate representation of a great painter's work. Mr. Sedelmeyer's courage, taste, and judgment cannot be too liberally acknowledged. He is producing a monograph, which will be of inestimable advant- age to all serious students of art, and one which we are entitled to hope will be accepted as a standard for other publications of the kind. It would certainly be difficult to imagine anything more perfect than the way in which the work, literary, artistic, and mechanical, has, thus far, been done. The text is, in its completeness and reliability, worthy of the great artist to which it is devoted, and the illustrations, reproduced by the heliogravure process, arc worthy of the text. The Art Amateur, June, 1900, Of this great work, issued in magnilicient style by Mr. Sedelmeyer, the fourth volume, dealing with one of the most important periods of the artist's life, that included between the dates 1637-40, has just been issued. As in the other volumes, previously reviewed, the reproductions iuclude every picture belonging te the period under consideration. It will take four more volumes and a supplement to finish the work, making it the most extended and the most complete literary and artistic monument ever built up to the fame of any painter.
