_______________________________________________________



Ernst van de Wetering received his studio art training at the Royal 
Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague.  In 1968, while studying Art History 
at the University of Amsterdam, he became an assistant at the 
Rembrandt Research Project (RRP), and in 1992 he succeeded Josua Bruyn 
as its chairman. 

Van de Wetering also worked for the Central Research Laboratory for 
Objects of Art and Science in Amsterdam from 1969-1987 
<callto:+1969-1987>, and from 1987-2001  <callto:+1987-2001>was a 
professor of Art History at the University of Amsterdam.  More recently 
he was Slade Professor of Fine Art at Oxford University.

The Rembrandt Research Project has published five volumes of /A Corpus 
of Rembrandt Paintings/. Ernst van de Wetering has published /Rembrandt, 
The Painter at Work/(1997, University of California Press) and a new 
book titled Rembrandt’s Mind will appear in 2011. 

His talk at SFU will focus on the mystery of Rembrandt’s self-portraits 
-  the RRP has assessed their authenticity via the use of 
X-Radiography, often yielding surprising results.


 
This free talk is sponsored by the Simon Fraser University Gallery
