4. — Landscape with Horseman and Animals
Described in Smith's Catalogue (part v, p. 847. n° 221) as follows :
« A Parmer on Horseback, conversing with a Herdsman. The view appears to be taken from the vicinity of Nemwygen, and is com- posed, on the left (right), of a high road leading to a chain of moun- tains, at the base of which are several ancient buildings with towers. A river Hows on the right (left), the banks of which are fringed with bushes. Near this part are a flock of sheep and two cows; the latter are lying down; and in the road is a man in a red jacket on a white horse, apparently in conversation with the herdsman. A third peasant is near the mountains. The effect of a beautiful summer's evening pervades the scene, and light diaphanous clouds float over the azure sky. This is a production of the rarest excellence and beauty. »

PRESS OPINIONS
The Times, London, May 21, 1896
No such monument has ever been erected to any painter. To attempt such a work at all, three things were necessary — photography with its modern deve- lopment, enterprise, and a critical authority as complete as Dr. P.ode's is.
The Times, London, April 14, 1897.
We commend this book as a wonderful result of modern reconstructive scho- larship, zeal, and enterprise. When the eight volumes are completed, they will be quite indispensable to every library which concerns itself with the history of art.
The Times, London, January 7, 1898.
The second of the eight volumes of this important and splendid work has just been issued by M. Sedelmeyer and is not less carefully executed than the first.
The volume as a whole, like its predecessor, represents all that scholarship, care and money can do towards the erection of a worthy monument to Rem- brandt's memory.
The Daily Chronicle, London, April 29, 1896.
These photogravures are invaluable to students of Rembrandt and are c\ lently produced. The expense, research and energy of Mr. Sedelmeyer in mai this collection must have been enormous.
All we can say is that the subject is worthy of it, and happy will they be who can become owners of the costly work, which is to be issued in eight volumes.
Illustrated London News, April 25, [896.
The value and beauty of this collection, which exceeds anything before al tempted, are beyond controversy.
The Daily Telegraph, London. October22, 1896.
The work will be a veritable monument to the genius of the very greatesl of all painters.
— 125 —
America?! Register, Paris. March 27, 1897.
A magnificent work of art, at which no less a connoisseur than Mr. Charles Sedelmeyer, the well-known dealer and expert in art, in collaboration with Direc- tor Bode, has been working- for fully fifteen years, has at last been completed. It is the richly illustrated edition in eight large volumes of " L'CEuvre Complet de Rembrandt, " a veritable literary and artistic monument to the great Dutch mas- ter, all of whose works, scattered throughout the world, have here been reproduced in heliogravure, with full descriptive text. The first volume has made its appear- ance, and, as might well have been foreseen, does great credit to the enterprising editor as well as to France.
The Collector, New York, April i5, 1897.
Nothing has yet been done, either in honour of any single artist or for the recording of his works, to even approach « The Complete Work of Rembrandt » which is published by M. Sedelmeyer, of Paris.... It comes in the shape of a fat folio, of the most sumptuous form of artistic embellishment and typography, and, entirely apart from its magnificence as an art work, is a book of reference no true collector can fail to appreciate.
The Art Amateur, New York, December, 1897.
The Complete Work of Rembrandt, which Dr. Bode has spent fifteen years in preparing, and of which Mr. Sedelmeyer has already issued the first two volumes in truly magnificent style, will reproduce every known painting by the master, one hundred and fifty of them never before published.
The Art Amateur, New York, September, 1899.
We have already spoken in terms of the highest praise of the first two volumes of this magnificent work. The third is, if possible, still more remarkable. In it, Dr. Bode, as biographer, has reached one of the most interesting periods of Rem- brandt's artistic career, that immediately succeeding his marriage, and leads with a scries of biblical and mythological compositions — and the portraits and studies connected with them ■ including some of the painter's acknowledged master- pieces.
We need not expatiate on the importance of Dr. Bode's « Rembrandt » to col- lectors. It promises to be the first really adequate representation of a great painter's work. Mr. Sedelmeyer's courage, taste, and judgment cannot be too liberally acknowledged. He is producing a monograph, which will be of inestimable advant- age to all serious students of art, and one which we are entitled to hope will be accepted as a standard for other publications of the kind. It would certainly be difficult to imagine anything more perfect than the way in which the work, literary, artistic, and mechanical, has. thus far, been done. The text is, in its completeness and reliability, worthy of the great artist to which it is devoted, and the illustrations, reproduced by the heliogravure process, are worthy of the text.
