ROELOF VAN STRATEN - Rembrandt's "Earliest Prints" Reconsidered
It is now widely believed that Rembrandt started making prints as early as 1625-1626, and that the Circumcision, the Rest on the Flight into Egypt and the Flight into Egypt are his first etchings. In this paper the author attributes the first two of these prints to Jan Lievens and shows that the Flight into Egypt should be dated a few years later than has usually been conjectured. A number of arguments indicate that Rembrandt started etching as late as 1628, and that he must have bought a printing press the following year.
