An Enormous Body Of Work
Rembrandt’s talent was just one detail that made him so successful. He was also incredibly industrious. With so many paintings produced by the genius, it is understandable if many people struggle to decide whether an individual piece is actually his or not. Brendon Grosvenor is an art historian that penned an article in the Financial Times in 2014 where he described how during the early 20th century, people believed that the master artist had produced between 600 and 650 pieces. As the 1970s came about, however, experts reduced this number to about 250.

The Joyous Conclusion
The Allentown Art Museum was handed a joyous conclusion to their pursuits. For around 10 years, the museum was under the impression that it was in possession of a Rembrandt. In 1970, professionals would destroy such notions when they reported that an apprentice had produced the piece. It would take about fifty years of further work before the real painter was identified. There was no room left for second-guessing, the New York University team had proven that Rembrandt had produced this beautiful and alluring work.
