- Public Note:
- The sixth and final volume of the 'Corpus' provides a complete and revised overview of the entire painted oeuvre (with a change in the order of works and a different methodology from that used in earlier volumes of the Corpus).
N.B. In 2017 a slightly updated softcover 2-vol. reprint of this volume was issued (See entry in this database: "Rembrandt's Paintings Revisited - A Complete Survey: A Reprint of A Corpus of Rembrandt's Paintings VI").
There is a chronologically organized checklist of the approximately 340 paintings the authors consider to be authentic. Each painting is reproduced (pp.70-477), with notes to the plates following (pp. 480-687). The present volume reattributes 70 works to Rembrandt, including a number of paintings rejected in earlier volumes (some of which had previously been set out in corrigenda of Vols. 4 & 5 and elsewhere in the Corpus, but are listed here again).
