Subject: Invitation to upcoming DAH lecture at The Frick Collection
To: Matthew K. Gold <mgold@gc.cuny.edu>
“Please join us for a lecture sponsored by The Frick Collection’s Digital
Art History Lab on Thursday, December 6th from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.:
“The Watermark Identification in Rembrandt’s Etchings (WIRE) Project at
Cornell Examines The Frick Collection’s Rembrandt Prints” by C. Richard
Johnson, Jr., Fellow in Computational Arts and Humanities at the Jacobs
Technion-Cornell Institute, and Geoffrey S. M. Hedrick Senior Professor of
Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Cornell University.
The chronology of Rembrandt’s print production has been linked to his usage
of batches of paper, each identified by the presence of a specific
watermark or its twin. Using a decision tree strategy and a chainspace
match comparison, the Watermark Identification in Rembrandt’s Etchings
(WIRE) Project at Cornell has developed a computer-based interrogatory
allowing identification of the watermark from a Rembrandt print among more
than 500 possibilities in a matter of minutes. Observations having
art-historical impact can be gleaned from watermark identification in
Rembrandt’s etchings. This presentation will focus on the results of the
WIRE Project’s analysis of the Rembrandt prints with watermarks in The
Frick Collection.
The lecture will be followed by a panel discussion with three specialists:
curator Andy Weislogel (Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art); conservator
Margaret Holben Ellis (Institute of Fine Arts, New York University); and
The Frick Collection’s Associate Research Curator Margaret Iacono.
*This lecture is free and open to the public, but registration is
