The symposium is themed to examine how both pedagogical approaches and increased watermarks data for Rembrandt’s prints can be used along with traditional connoisseurship to answer questions about Rembrandt as a printmaker—and raise new ones. Speakers will address how cross-disciplinary projects and collaborative research in academic collections can inspire new methods of learning and extend the reach of existing knowledge about Rembrandt’s practice. A panel discussion will explore the teaching of Rembrandt’s prints from a variety of perspectives in different settings, including the university, the encyclopedic museum, and the conservation studio.

Presenters will include:
- Erik Hinterding, Curator of Prints, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam
- Susan Donahue Kuretsky, Professor of Art on the Sarah Gibson Blanding Chair, Vassar College
- Nadine Orenstein, Drue Heinz Curator in Charge, Department of Drawings and Prints, Metropolitan Museum of Art
- Margaret Holben Ellis, Eugene Thaw Professor of Paper Conservation, Institute of Fine Arts, New York University
- Elizabeth Nogrady, Andrew W. Mellon Curator of Academic Programs, Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center, Vassar College
- C. Richard Johnson, Jr., Jacobs Fellow in Computational Arts and Humanities, Cornell Tech, New York, and Geoffrey S. M. Hedrick Senior Professor of Engineering, Cornell University
- Stephanie S. Dickey, Bader Chair in Northern Baroque Art. Queen’s University
