Rembrandt’s
hot hand
A painting of a saucy 17th-century game has been officially
attributed to Rembrandt
By Martin Bailey
LONDON. A
painting bought by the National Gallery of Ireland as the work of a minor
Dutch artist has been identified as an early Rembrandt. “La main chaude”,
depicting a popular 17th-century game, was acquired in 1896 for £20, as by
Haarlem artist Willem de Poorter. With the blessing of the Rembrandt Research
Project, the panel has now been accepted as by the master, and it goes on show
in Kassel on 3 November, in an exhibition on “The Mystery of the Young
Rembrandt”.
“La main chaude” is a game in which a blindfolded player is smacked on the
bottom and has to guess who has administered the slap. According to Professor
Ernst van de Wetering, head of the Amsterdam-based project, the reason why
earlier scholars dismissed the Dublin picture was its subject matter.
“Because there are virtually no known painted genre works by Rembrandt, it
had not been accepted as one of his works.” Instead it has been variously
attributed to Gerrit Dou, the Leiden School, Jan Lievens and, most recently,
School of Rembrandt.
Professor van de Wetering made the new attribution for several reasons. The
oak panel has now been dated by dendrochronology to about 1624 and the men in
the picture are wearing clothing of a short-lived fashion of 1628-9. Rembrandt
would then have been around 26, and working in Leiden. X-rays have revealed an
image beneath of a bust portrait which appears to be in his style. Finally,
considerable work on the Rembrandt’s early years has been undertaken for the
exhibition, and stylistically the Dublin panel now appears to fit much better
into his oeuvre. “Young Rembrandt” runs at Schloss Wilhelmshöhe in Kassel
until 27 January and moves to the Rembrandthuis in Amsterdam, from 20 February
to 26 May 2002. “La main chaude” will then be returning in glory to the
National Gallery of Ireland.

[ Rembrandt
HARMENSZOON VAN RIJN (July 15, 1606 Leiden -- Oct. 4, 1669,
Amsterdam ) ]
Max Ernst (
1891-1976 ) : created his oil-painting "The Virgin Spanking the
Christ Child before Three Witnesses: Andre Breton, Paul Eluard, and the
Painter" in 1926, in Paris. The three persons, including himself, watching
the action in the foreground are members of the French Surrealistic Movement.
Three years ago Ernst had already presented 16 contemporary Surrealist painters
on "The Friends' Rendezvous", including de Chirico, Aragon and many
more.
"The Virgin Spanking..." is based on a classical motif in art-history:
Venus punishs Amor (Cupid). There are references to sexual involvements and
traumatic experiences hidden in the motif of Venus and Amor, found in this scene
of a mother with her naked child. But the Christian title of the painting (and
the two actors' names: the Virgin, Christ Child) tell us, that this scene is a
requital with the severe and orthodox Catholic education in his childhood as
well. The disrespectful and somewhat blasphemous treatment of the relationship
between the two most important figures in Catholicism was quite typical for the
Dadaist movement--and a scandal at that time. ........

This is part of a
review of Ilona Sochynsky's work . Reversing the pictures
puts them in correct chronological order , we will leave the

| Sochynsky's
work belies the prejudice that painting is dead and that academic
training hinders creativity. Her technical virtuosity and evocative
images would be impossible without sound academic discipline and
tradition.

collide, intertwine, abut, overshadow, obscure, and enhance each
other. In her early work, Self Portrait with Hairbrush (1982) and
Petro is Space (1983) for example, she places human figures and
abstract objects in juxtaposition with often surprising, always
arresting effect. With their air of vague unreality and myth, the
objects depict the artist's attempt to amalgamate the animate and
inanimate worlds. She contrast s softly molded flesh against hard
edged colors and contours in the background. |

lady makes the request in writing , in triplicate , and with
several highly-aroused witnesses in attendance ! It's an
all-new Gallery Girls series , this time making an educated
study of the art of the upturned bottom ! An international
array of artists take turns ( " Thank you sir ! May I

hands - whatever it takes to get the point across to the
offending hindquarter , Spanking Tails will provide
instruction !
