Rembrandt and the study on the collections in the 17the century in Netherlands

本研究旨在探讨伦勃朗收藏的特点、形成过程，以及伦勃朗热心收藏的卢卡斯·范·莱登和老皮特·布鲁格尔的版画(包括他之后的版画)对伦勃朗的影响程度。通过对伦勃朗藏品的探索，进一步论证了伦勃朗的视野超越了欧洲的边界，包括了东亚的视觉材料。作者并不试图认为伦勃朗的收藏集是一个统一的概念的系统反映，无论是普遍的还是百科全书的性质，而是将其概念化为一种历史现象。他的收藏是自我反省的，就像他的自画像一样，因此被证明是17世纪荷兰最丰富的美学探索领域之一。

The purpose of this study is to explore the characteristics of Rembrandt's collection, the process of it's formation, and the extent to which the prints of Lucas van Leyden and Pieter Bruegel the elder(including the prints after him), which Rembrandt collected enthusiastically, exerted an influence upon the artist. Through exploration of his collection, furthermore, the argument is made that Rembrandt's purview exceeded the borders of Europe to include the visual material of East Asia. The author does not attempt to consider Rembrandt's collection as the systematic reflection of a unified concept, universal or encyclopedic in character, but rather to conceptualize it as a historical phenomenon. HIs collection is self-reflective, much like his self-portraits, and therefore proves to be one of the most fertile areas for aesthetic exploration of the Dutch seventeenth century.
