notes: label: Description
content: This etching by Léopold Flameng is known as either <I>Un Rabbin</I> or <I>Un Vieux (An Old Man)</I>. The painting by Rembrandt hangs in the Musée Bonat, Bayonne, France. The print was etched for the <I>Gazette des Beaux-Arts</I>, a publication started in Paris by Charles Blanc in 1859, which ceased only recently. Flameng had met Blanc in the studio of a well-known engraver, Luigi Calamatta, and became one of two graphic artists on the new publication. He etched no fewer than 100 plates for the <I>Gazette</I> and some forty plates for Blanc’s book on Rembrandt’s work, published in 1859. Flameng’s etchings after Rembrandt were highly regarded by collectors in this period.
