	The 'learned eye' or oculus eruditus was a seventeenth-century concept used by writers on painting, illustrating their view that the ideal artist was not only skilled in painting techniques, but also had knowledge of the history of art and an interest in poetry and literature. In this book, dedicated to the Dutch Rembrandt scholar and the inspiring leader of the Rembrandt Research Project Ernst van de Wetering, the 'learned eye' refers to the experienced eye of the art historian, the curator, or the restorer, reflecting the scope of Wetering's own work. The book contains contributions on Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Frans Hals, Poussin and others, all linked by the theme of the 'learned eye', focusing on studio practice, theory of art, or the development of the artist's self-image. This erudite Festschrift for the Chair of the Rembrandt Research Project includes contributions ranging from colour symbolism in the seventeenth-century Dutch painting, to art and morality in the works of Jacques-Louis David
