• Resumen

  • The article presents a discussion of drawings by 17th-century Dutch artist Jan Lievens, adapted from a paper given at a February 2010 symposium held at the J. Paul Getty Museum in conjunction with the exhibition “Rembrandt and His Pupils: Telling the Difference.” The author discusses how Lievens' drawings relate to those by Rembrandt van Rijn and describes how Lievens and Rembrandt worked alongside each other, resulting in similar styles. Other topics include Lievens career beginning at age eight, the attribution of drawings by Rembrandt and Lievens, and differences in the two artists' styles. Specific drawings by Lievens analyzed include “Foot Operation,” “Stoning of St. Paul at Lystra,” and “Hermit in Contemplation, Seated in a Chair.”
