"The original, Old Man with a Gold Chain (1631), has been in the Art Institute of Chicago's collection since 1922 and is considered one of the anchors of its encyclopaedic collection."
"Questions about attribution have been constant in the world of Rembrandt, with numerous catalogues produced on his prints and paintings."
"Earlier this month, researchers at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam authenticated a painting, Vision of Zacharias in the Temple (1633), that is owned by a private collector and was dismissed as a copy in the early 1960s."
The painting Old Man with a Gold Chain, long considered a workshop copy, is now attributed to Rembrandt by Gary Schwartz. It has been displayed alongside its copy at the Art Institute of Chicago since last autumn. The original has been part of the AIC collection since 1922. Attribution issues surrounding Rembrandt's works persist, with many students contributing to his oeuvre. Recent authentication of another painting, Vision of Zacharias in the Temple, adds to the ongoing debate about Rembrandt's body of work.
