Sumowski archive
Professor
Werner Sumowski’s complete archive of photographs is an important part
of the Rembrandt Information Centre. This German art historian spent
many years researching paintings and drawings by Rembrandt’s pupils and
imitators, and gathered together his immense knowledge of the Rembrandt
school in a series of standard works. His six-volume Gemälde
derRembrandt-Schüler contains a wealth of information. Sumowski also
published the ten-volume Drawings of the Rembrandt School dedicated to
drawings by Rembrandt’s pupils. Since 1998 Sumowski’s source material
for these works—many thousands of photographs and supplementary
documentation—has been in the library of the Rembrandt House Museum,
where it can be consulted by anyone who is interested.
