One of the most creative and inventive etchers of his day, Rembrandt was one among many figures active in the production of prints in Holland during the seventeenth century. By the time he began making prints, the United Provinces had become the center for the European print trade in the seventeenth century. This talk will look at printmaking and the business of prints in Holland in the seventeenth century, from the rare to the everyday print.
