PBD tile plates and tableaux based on the Heystee catalogue for the Rembrandt Year 1906

The 300th anniversary of the birth of Rembrandt in 1906 inspired the ambitious tile dealer Arnold Anthonius Marie Heystee (1876-1941) to come up with a marketing concept for his tile editions that was as daring as it was modern. He published a Dutch and English language copper-engraved catalogue with black and white reproductions of both 17th century paintings and oil paintings by so-called Modern masters from the second half of the 19th century.
