Durer drawings and etching

Durer self-portrait as a young man and the artist that he was.

I myself do not believe Durer would have painted his thumb in the way it is shown. Only a blind donky ass copier would have made this error.

You can see with your own eyes what some expert may have done to this portrait. The owner may have taking it to their establishment for his or her own opinion and thoughts of who might have been the artist.  That pretty much sums up most MFA expert's  own mentalities as for as I'm concerned.  If this work of art was in my possession at that time when something like this happened to it, what would be your own opinion and thoughts of what might happen to the one doing this to this painting?

The MFA expert that  scratch right through the artists eyes and down the front of this portrait then handing it back to its owner more than likely did not get any reprisal from the owner other than a statement of what do you think you are doing? That painting happens to belong to me was probably said before leaving their establishment. I would haft to say myself who ever it was who did this more than likely already has recieved their just reward from the looks of those suspicious eyes.  Those eyes kind of remind me a little of Dirty Harry's eyes and probably of getting even.

One time this painting was in a prominent collection with the old red wax or hardened substance for the owners seal or sheild of ownership.  You can see where someone in the past had cut it down in size and at one time the painting itself looks to have been nailed to a wall.

 

 

What do you think? That a pretty shitty looking thumb unless it happened to be Durer's rolled up glove with the real bare thumb wrapped around it.

Now what would anyone with a half a brain think happened here?  Are you starting to see why Rembrandt and Vincent had so much contempt against MFA expertise?

Come on Grandpa, what kind of a beastly looking dog is that? Is he a lion dog, or just resting his head?  Go faster Grandpa and get me to that potty over there before I do something you wouldn't like down your neck.

 

An Etching of Christ by Albrecht Durer

This drawing of the 16th century lady is on the back side of the top self-portrait of himself with the little round castle to his right, in other words this is a two-sided drawing. One asks one self, why in the world wouldn't the artist sign this self portrait? Well, I'd say it's like this,... people asking this question would be similar to ones asking what was it that intrigued Rembrandt so much about this 16th century German artist.

An Etching of Christ by Albrecht Durer

This picture of the Etching of Christ by Albrecht Durer is a little blurry.

Nice!   I do like the way the copying artist of this etching figured out in his own mind, if his thumb was bare,.... it had to come from somewhere.

Oh Christ,... that's not a hole in his glove! It's his other thumb from his UN-gloved hand coming around the bare thumb protruding out of the gloved hand. Damn those blind ass donkey eared MFA copiers who can't see or tell the difference of a glove hanging from his gloved hand thinking it might have been his thumb. F-N unbelievable! What is even more not- believable is how the MFA experts can't see or tell the difference either!

Oh hell,.. they have the signature up high on the window sill! I guess they will just have to cut the etchings and painting down just showing the tops of his knuckles when others start questioning these aspects of these supposed self-portraits.

Just remember one thing, the MFA expexts never look at thumbs.

Authentic Rembrandt paintings now stand at barely 300.

Artist

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn AKA Rembrandt
(1906-1669)
 

You think that you may own a painting by Rembrandt?  Well,... think again,... you do have other thoughts a coming.  They say they authenticate, appraise, research and issue certificates of authenticity (COA) and provide free consultations for all paintings by Rembrandt?  Who exactly do they think they are trying to kid!  I'll tell you personally from my own experiences,... it's all bulshit,... and a big load of crap!  This is all a big money game my friends,... and if you don't have the money,... you cannot play the game.  Simple as that!

 

 For centuries now, most all of the so-called MFA experts and ones of today have been in my own eyes and I'm sure other's,... they have been the biggest liars,... the biggest thieves,... the biggest know nothings A-holes ever to represent themselves as art experts.  A little crude wouldn't you say?  Well my artistic friends,... I'm not backing off,....  I'm convinced for nothing else but,...  very good reasons.

The Prodigal Son in the Tavern, Rembrandt and Saskia

You take this painting by Rembrandt and dissect it.  You ask yourselves, what exactly is this painting telling us? That he was celebrated in his own time, and very early on?  Hell no! If you believe that, then you probably collect Pee Wee Herman Dolls and think that he was great person himself, and helped you in occupying your kid's minds and attention, when you had no time to give them your own .  There is too many lies in this world and too much mind conditioning.  A Prodigal Son in a tavern would not give a damn who he would hurt,... not even his wife Saskia, her head in the background looking back,... to see him with another woman in his arms.  For as you should see yourselves,...that would be one gigantic ass sitting in his lap with that small head on its shoulders.

 

 They say when he was only 20 years of age in 1627,... not only did he have his own studio, but he was taking-in apprentices who paid for the privilege of studying under his tutelage. His fame never diminished, and if anything has only grown with the passing of the centuries.  I say  in our complete history of art has there been a man built up and torn down as this artist. It seems as though to me,... that any of the so-called expert can say just about anything they want to say about him,.... that comes to their own minds of course.  Then,... expecting people to believe them.  Can't they just tell it like it really was,... when knowing they can read one of the best known real accounts and documented writings about this artist life,.... from the notes and the accountabilities from the diary of one of his closest friends,... Dr. Jan van Loon?  What a wonderful book to have been preserved and translated for the world to read,... and Oh,.. by the way,... considered by the MFA experts to be nothing but fiction.

Portrait of a Young Girl

Yes, this is a very non-forgiving face of young Hendrickje,.... Rembrandt's mistress,.. who was stowed away in his house living as a chamber maid to help his house keeper, only very light duty. You can see the guilt on her face,... the sorrowfulness,.. the suicidal and crying eye look that doesn't really become her,... but yet tells us part of the full story that Rembrandt has left the world to see in his works of art with their own eyes,... if ever the people were able to learn to see on their own.

 

For as a painter with fame and recognition,.. come copies and forgeries.  Shortly after he died in 1669, works attributed to him or bearing a false signature started to appear.  You bet! I can see them all now, let's all paint us some copies of Rembrandt's, for we can all travel down that same road to bankruptcy while not selling a son-of-a-bitching thing.  They say  It even got worse.  As soon as the painters of his day died out, anything vaguely resembling a Rembrandt fell victim to an early form of identity theft. What a bunch of bullcrap! They will have this artist down to less than 200 works of art if they continue as they have,... as you will read for yourselves later.

 

They say the names of other painters would be scratched out and replaced with fake Rembrandt signatures. The result was that some painters of Rembrandt's time did not seem to have ever painted anything at all, because all their paintings were attributed to Rembrandt. Yes,.. this is very much in the Dutch language and vocabulary, for I've heard it myself when at their Museum in Amsterdam,... "do you really believe Rembrandt was the only good Dutch artist?" 

 

They say it was the Rembrandt vacuum-cleaner effect. If it vaguely looked like a Rembrandt, it became a Rembrandt.  Simple Simon,... where are you?  Copies were also sold as originals and countless forgers produced paintings in the Rembrandt style.  Well, I'm sure we all know this,.. and just as they say,... copies,... for as Vincent van Gogh had written to his own brother, "The majority of Dutch artist's has no imagination and can't invent anything in art,"....  but what they are good at is ship building and distilling & building dikes.

Portrait of a Family

  

I thought I might share with the viewers one of my own discoveries of Rembrandt's works of art "Family Group", supposedly painted in 1666-68, oil on canvas which is in the Herzog Anton Ulrich-museum.  I don't know how many of you have ever heard or recall the story told of Rembrandt, while he was painting a family's portrait while the family was still sitting for him, that he had painted his monkey that had just kicked the bucket onto their canvas while the sitters were present.

 

   Well,... anyway,...  this happens to be the painting in question of which his dead monkey was painted into.  It is very easy to be seen by some when pointed out to them.  Let just say for instance,  if your own pet monkey was to die in the exact same circumstances, and you were him, how would you place you dead monkey for his final portrait? Would you lay him on his belly face down or tie him from a rope hanging from the rafters,... No,.... you more than likely would have done exactly as Rembrandt did, lying his pet across some soft materials softly on his back in a way that he could paint him into this painting's canvas to where it could be hidden, and at the same time, still be seen by himself.

 

Now after saying this,... let us examine this fine work of art that was left partially un-finished, according to some experts.  The un-finished part is the head of the household who had jumped around this large canvas against Rembrandt's rules, to discover his own suspicions what he'd thought he seen.  He refused to accept the painting with the dead monkey painted onto the canvas, and Rembrandt proceeded in throwing their family out of his house.  True story!  Now if we look close, there is only the head of the head of the household.  You might say that is one marvelous looking hand painted right under the nose of his oldest daughter.  Do you think it is possible that Rembrandt might have been making an artists statement here?

 

To locate this very close friend of the artist, one must use ones imagination, to comprehend what was just said and will be said,... to possibly be able to see Rembrandt's dead Monkey he had painted into this painting of the "Family Group".

 

Are you ready Freddy?  Just imagine two little monkey's eyes still half opened gazing off into no where land, with his little monkey arms and paws folded around the back of his neck used as a pillow.  His body lies motionless as his little thin legs are draped over the lady of the family's thigh.  This not well known about hidden phenomenon just happens to be under the ladies hand and arm, and added into the little girls skirt, utilizing her shoe, and the ladies skirt with his other paw on the other side of his head.  Can any of you see the monkey now?

  

Monkey is outlined in yellow.

 

I've found the story,..here it is below.

 

One of his earliest biographers, Filippo Baldinucci, who based his writings on the testimony of one of Rembrandt's pupils, wrote, "After it had become commonly known that whomever wanted to be portrayed by him had to sit to him for some two or three months, there were few who came forward." Another early biographer, Arnold Houbraken, recounts how, when he was almost finished painting a portrait of a couple and their children, Rembrandt's monkey (part of his increasing collection of curiosities) died, and he memorialized it by including its carcass in the family portrait. The clients could not abide this, but "the effect produced by the corpse so impressed the artist that rather than remove it to satisfy his clients he left the work unfinished."

  

 I often ask myself,... why are the so-called art experts so reluctant to establish truths of new discoveries about what is documented and written down about some of these artists from their biographies and known happening that had happened in the artist's life time.  In rolling this over and over many times in my mind, I can only come to a few conclusions of my own.  A person would think that new findings and discoveries of the masterful painters would be welcomed by the supposed more knowledgeable ones.  On the contrary,.... they are not welcome!  I wonder why?

 

You take this Rembrandt "Family Group" painting for instance,... the only family group which happens to be in existence today at this present time, and as you hear and read this story, it makes many wonder why it was not discovered before.  Most Rembrandt experts in the past and present have contributed this story to fiction and just hear say.  Now some fool like vanrijngo comes along,... messes with their minds,... tells them exactly where they are at being the so-called experts that they are known to be, and mean while,....they have absolutely no comment to make.  Totally amazing wouldn't you think?

 

Oh my God, ... if this happens to be true, then how can the dating of the time of it's painting be so far off in Rembrandt's oeuvre by the earlier colleagues of theirs.  We cannot see this or except this in any way they would more than likely say,... if they would say anything at all!  This discovery would mean that this painting was painted while Rembrandt was still living in the house he and Saskia had bought in Amsterdam, before his bankruptcy in 1656-7. 

 

 This discovery should help in telling us exactly how supposed art experts handle new discoveries and just how many possible fraudulent copies of the master painters there may be in museums and private collections around this world.  Don't the most of you think it is about time to have computers and new scanning technologies straighten this whole mess out and get the true facts and rightful artists accredited to their own art work, since the computers don't know how to lie. 

In New York alone, US Customs records show that 9,482 Rembrandts were imported in the US between 1800 and 1850. By 1860, between Europe and the US, perhaps as many as 15,000 collectors and institutions believed they owned an original and authentic Rembrandt painting. Eventually, some art scholars went to work and by the late 1800s the list of authentic Rembrandts stood at around 1,000. Then, Valentiner reduced it to 690. Abraham Bredius went over all the Rembrandts again and by 1935 we were down to 639. Gerson continued cleaning up and arrived at a reduced total of 419 authentic Rembrandt paintings in 1968.  Now we have a Simple Simon working on killing some of his other assumed gregarious ones.

Science and scanning techniques is inconsequential, it is subjective intuition & instinct they (MFA's) say! - Wednesday, November 2nd 2005 4:31 PM

Paysage D’Orange

This same year, a small group of six historians known as members of the Rembrandt Research Project, embarked once again on the project of reviewing all of the works attributed to Rembrandt, as well as those attributed to his students, followers and studio. Within a relatively short time, traveling in teams of two they looked at all 600 works, worldwide.

"The art of getting down on" MFA expertise! - Thursday, October 20th 2005 3:22 PM

The project received great publicity when the first two of the projected five reports were published but it started to run into controversy with the publication of volume 3. By then, 122 paintings formerly attributed to Rembrandt and another 12 on which the research team could not reach an agreement had been rejected.

Bathsheba with King David’s Letter

Criticism of the Rembrandt Project reached hysterical proportions when advance reports were made public, of what the conclusions of the next 2 and final volumes would be. A reassessment of the entire Rembrandt oeuvre was in the works.

Decipherment of Rembrandt's Dr. Faustus

 

At this point, opposition to the Rembrandt research Project became so strong that in a growing number of articles, studies and lectures, the conclusions of the research Projects were taken apart, dissected and rejected. Four out of the five members (one had died) of the Rembrandt Research Project resigned together, saying they couldn't agree as to how to proceed. Volumes 4 and 5 were not published.

The reality of what happened is not that the RRP (Rembrandt Research Project) members were being overzealous, but former “Rembrandt” owners were very upset to find out that their work wasn’t as valuable. Some prestigious museums were told that five or six of their Rembrandts were not Rembrandts, and therefore had lost out on a great deal of money and made them look less reputable. This is to say that opposition to the RRP was largely the result of wanting to protect investments, reputations and pride. Basically, those who had a "Rembrandt" banded together and gangged up on the six RRP experts.

 

Well, I will venture to say that possibilities is no longer,... it's a little late in trying to save the supposed humanities of this world.  The big money aspects will continue to distort truths, and we'll all continue on in that spiral that will eventually prove to everyone,..... that hell is right here on this earth.

 

I Believe it's getting close to the hide and seek game. - Monday, September 19th 2005 4:58 PM

 

A Turk

A fact rarely mentioned, is that the RRP, or its former members, have approved and authenticated new Rembrandts, such as the Irish owned Hot Cockles (La Main Chaude) and a couple others. This demonstrates, if need be, that the RRP was not out to slash Rembrandts and to reject authentic ones, for the sake of it.

La Main Chaude

Authentic Rembrandt paintings now stand at barely 300.

A Scholar

You may well own a Rembrandt, particularly if no one ever thought your painting was a Rembrandt; several have been re-discovered and authenticated in the past few years. On the other hand, if your family has had a "Rembrandt" since the 1800s you could be in for some bad news, the next time someone goes through the list again.

SASKIA'S FAREWELL TO REMBRANDT

Rembrandt, Oh how I've loved you so-
You painted me on canvas to make me look so beautiful
You promised to love and cherish me
and that I'd always be your honey,
but deep down inside my heart,... I felt it was all for money.

My parents were rich and famous, you knew that would bring you status and fame.
You changed my name from van Uylenburgh to van Rijn, never to be changed again.
I've had four of your children 1635-41,
now only poor Titus survives, the other three died so very young...

Now, I lie here dying myself, can't breath, some unknown disease,
Doctor van Loon checks on me, he brings me medicines to help me sleep.
He tells me how beautiful I am at 29,
Don't worry my dear, you look better today, surely you will be fine.

But,... I could tell by the look that was in his eyes,
he was just trying to comfort me -- with his little white lies.
I know that I am dying,... and it will probably be soon,
I know that I cannot be helped,... not even by Doctor Van Loon.

I feel I've been slowly poisoned by you my dear, your mistress, the housekeeper, too.
I can see it,... it's in you paintings,... also in the drawings and etchings you do.
You haven't given me much credit,... you've always thought that you were smarter than I.
Well, I have a little surprise for you my dear,...You will receive it after I die.

I still love you Rembrandt -- Saskia

  Art Experts, Inc

It is said that they research, attribute, authenticate and appraise works by Rembrandt. Please email large size, high definition, digital pictures, dimensions and what you know about the painting. We will let you know what we think of your painting and also suggest what should be done.

 

vanrijngo:   If you believe what has been said in the past and is still being said at this present time involving the art authentication process, then you probably think it is a good thing that computers will never be used primarily to determine truths about art authenticity.   The so-called experts of artist Foundations are the ones who are mostly in charge in this art world.  Now, just think about what I have to say;  Do you believe in your own minds and wildest dreams that these MFA experts (so-called) are going to allow newly discovered works of art of these expensive artist's works that they are supposed to be representing, as truly being from the artist' hand in question?  Of course not,..that is if the art work belongs to you.  Why?  Very good question,.. when my findings bring out the many reasons why they do not bring to light many or should I say any newly discovered works of art and why they make it their # 1 rule not to let anything newly found enter the art market.

 

(1) The very first reason will astound you.  I have found because of the many fraudulent copies of these particular artists works, and of the possible ones that they the Foundation experts have in the past already signed their names to as being authentic would bring back questions of true authenticity.  Most well known and high priced artist's have already been re-produced so much it would be to questionable for that particular artist to have done so much work in his or her life time.

 

(2) This is going to get really good and right down to the brass tacks of truths.  Next reason I will give is straight from the mouth of a MFA expert of Vincent van Gogh Sun Flowers, or should I say straight from the horse's ass.  "If the art market is to remain the same, the automatic "NO" will remain the rule."  Now after hearing this, how confident are you or would you be of the expert's opinions and determinations, possibly of the pieces of art you have submitted to them in the past and would like to submit to them today.

 

(3) I'm going to leave these numerous reasons at these minimal three for now,... not to add so much as to confuse you.  My last reason will be from well published quotes from one of the 20th century considered greatest and high priced artist,....  mainly speaking of Picasso,... and his quotes goes as follows;  "Museums are full of lies, and people who make art their business are mostly impostors."  "Give me a museum and I will fill it".  There are so many work of art in private collection from the same known masters, if all counted up together with what is in museums and collections from around this world would mean most every artist would had to have painted as fast as Vincent van Gogh did, only the experts have slowed Vincent down for his count to coincide with what is known.

 

  My biggest question today that no one seem to have an answer for,...  if all these popular, mostly starving artists did the majority of their art work for their family run estates and the elite, why is their so much of their works of art in questionable collections and family estates, all the while not knowing their real value, and most every times of one coming to light,.... it being considered by the MFA expert's as to being a copy or fraudulent ones?  They make laws today or would like make them enabling them to burn up all the copies. Well,... I'd have to say they had better start with burning their own,... instead of destroying the artist's originals.

An out of sight Museum art sale

Believe it or not,  these two work of art were a couple of my better buys just a few short years ago in 1995. The sale was put on by (BAM) The Boise Art Museum.  The museum curator and the museum members and staff decided to have an art sale to help with the the construction costs of the new expansion of the Boise Art Museum.  It all began by the museum making its pleas to all their members for donated art that they would called off the wall art donations.  These donated works of art would be for sale, and the revenue being used for the museum's new expansion. The sale was held at the Foster warehouse building before being torn down making room for a parking garage on Front Street. The art sale was called "From Velvet Elvis To Rembrandt". 

 

This not signed chalk drawing bought at this sale I believe to have been drawn by Picasso.

Here above is the rather large chalk drawing I purchased there at this art sale.

This drawing was not framed at the time of the purchase. It was in this single matte holder that it is still in. I put this drawing complete with the matte behind the glass in this frame. Just because of its size being the same.  I know it does not do the drawing any justice but for right now it will have to do.

This drawing does have a strange twist to a story that I'm going to tell to go along with it.  It was Saturday afternoon when I purchased this drawing at this three day sale. The first day of the sale for the art buying public was Friday evening 4 to 9 p.m. I missed going at that time along with the evening before Thursday night. It was for museum members only. They had hard drinks, wine, refreshments & snacks for museum members.  It was the time most figured was the best chance to pick up some fantastic art, that is if you knew what you were looking at.

As I was walking around looking at art that was still on the walls Saturday, art that I hadn't already picked off the walls and was carrying with me, I heard something very strange.  To my surprise there came such a clatter, the noise that only fast walking high heel could make. The noise seemed never ending coming straight across the the main lobby wood floor.  I turned and looked as I seen this tall slender gal wearing a beautiful black dress and decked out in diamonds and a fancy black hat heading straight to the level I was on.  I heard her say to the sales lady behind me, "I heard there were some Picasso's here" frantically looking around until she seen what I was carrying. She calmly walk over to me and said, "If you put those back on the wall sir and come back tomorrow they will be reduced to half price."  I calmly looked her back straight in her eyes and said, "for what they are and what they are price, I can't imagine them being priced any lower and still be there on the wall."

These videos of this orchard painting and of it back-side bought at this sale will show the viewers some paint wrongly mixed for artists painting on canvas with. The art connoisseur I claim myself to be, along with being an knowledgeable art critic and collector of fine art, has to stand for something.  The amount of art fraud in the world my friends is the main reason why the French police started their own antique and art fraud division. The police in France claim, art even though the fine art auctions houses gives there own thumbs up approvals, including the London auction houses, auction over the whole world, art from private collections and art in museums are in fact said to be 50% fake. 

 

This painting had a little sign on it price tag from its owner that if it didn't sell at the ridiculous low price that was on it they wanted it back.  Needless to say they did not get it back.

 

On the back of this painting you can see and read the signature where it is presumed signed by the artist. Well, if you would like to see what was painted by this signing artist you will have to wait to see it if and when it is ever x-rayed.  

Not a advocate of gun control

A couple of slide shows of a few of Vincent's telling painting of different happening in his short artistic carreer.

 

An ear offering if you need an ear to hear with.

 

Gauguin etching of a "Man With a Crow" according to the art experts.  I say this etching was done by Gauguin of Vincent van Gogh with crows etched all over his face and with the father and the hungry baby crow sitting on his shoulder.  They are waiting for the return of the mother with a worm for her hungry baby who's mouth is wide open and and at the same time representing Vincent van Gogh's ear.

Rembrandt or not Rembrandt

 

• Simon says take two steps backwards,... I say take a long walk off a short pier.

• I want to see the one that really flunks attempts at brownish golden fuzz and thinking of Christmas or something.

• Just look at the expert's final words they have for Rembrandt and what they show the world about his contempt for art experts. LMAO   Just look at those donkey ears on that expert with his blinders on.  The experts are so blind they can't even see the artist looking back at everyone with that smirk on his face and with his pants down to his knees wiping his what ever, and leaving a you know what-tee.  

  Does that glergy man look like he is dreaming of Christmas or something?  Maybe something, but I'd say not Christmas, the way he is looking at that young girl with a towel over her arm and a blanket over her shoulder.  How many word chain in that interview?  15 to be exact and did get me looking. Do you really believe that represents a chain on that lying ass? Looks more like the proprietor of the house leaning through the open doorway filling up that glass, rather than the young gal holding on to the wash pan.

What do you think,... same  guy that's Rembrandt has there representing King Pilate?  Just compare facial features and drop that black hat on the head of this so-called man of the cloth who I'd guess is about the most two faced bastard who ever walked the face of this earth in Rembrandt's eyes.  Very good portrayal of this Person who was supposed to have ask Jesus what is truth.  On the contrary Professor Schama,...  I'd say this represents a pretty dramatic moment.

Amsterdam Flowers in a Wine Glass

 

I bought this irregular arrangement of flowers at a antiques fair and flea market just behind the Rembrandt house In Amsterdam. Now this is just for the ones who can follow instruction to possibly see Vincent smoking his pipe there in his room. When you see the Flowers in the wine glass standing up straight with the wine bottle, you stop action of Video. Screw your eyelids down as Vincent would tell you to do. Try to visualize in your mind, including the foggiest part of your subconscious minds,.... Vincent there smoking his pipe with the yellow flowers drifting away as the smoke. Cheers! vanrijngo
