Abstract

The answer to the question of what the exact relationship might be between two or more obviously connected Rembrandtesque paintings can differ from case to case. While in many instances the nature of this relationship will never be known, in others it can be pinned down fairly precisely. Analysis of X-radiographs and related drawings can then provide insight into how the genesis and evolution of the paintings in question are interwoven. This is the case with the Nativity discussed here and the Nativity in Munich (V 11) that Rembrandt delivered to Frederik Hendrik in 1646.
