[B] The topic of this book being painting, Rembrandt’s fecundity and genius as an etcher have not been considered. [C] Compare the reference on page 103 to the series of Biblical subjects, executed in 1633, which are now in the Munich Gallery. [D] In the Adolf v. Carstanjen Collection, Berlin Gallery. [E] I allude to the men who are working more or less in sympathy with and along the lines of the French artist, Matisse. [F] See page 175.
