In this print, Rembrandt renders the recent slaughter of a boar by a few Netherlandish men, concluding the end of a hunt. French Engraver and painter Charles Amand Durand, (1831-19 05) is recognized and praised for accomplishing the difficult task of renewing original copper plate designs made by Rembrandt; It is by Amand that many of Rembrandt’s works were saved. He also restored plates by Albrecht Durer, Beham, and other various Old Masters from the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries. The task started when the main curator of the Louvre gave Amand Durand the important mission of restoring the worn down and fragile engravings made by Rembrandt. Show more
