The death of the Virgin., Rembrandt van Rijn, artist, 1639, Netherlands, etching, During his lifetime, Rembrandt's extraordinary skills as a printmaker were the main source of his international fame. Unlike his oil paintings, prints travelled light and were relatively cheap. For this reason, they soon became very popular with collectors not only within, but also beyond the borders of the Netherlands. It also explains why, two or three centuries later, they were affordable for Bishop Ditlev Monrad and Wellington collector Sir John Ilott, both of them benefactors to the forerunners of Te Papa. We have two impressions of this famous print by Rembrandt: one was gifted to the Colonial Museum by Monrad in 1869 (1869-0001-411) and this superior example was gifted to the National Art Gallery by Ilott.
