This study explores the applicability of Actor-Network-Theory, a recent paradigm of social theory, to the investigation of Rembrandts relations with patrons and collectors. Known by the acronym ANT, the method privileges objects as critical agents in creating, sustaining, and extending social ties and thus offers a model for capturing the dynamics underlying the interdependencies between Rembrandt, his art, his patrons, and collectors. I focus on Rembrandts works presented and circulated as gifts, which epitomize the short-lived assemblies between humans and objects that ANT considers the cornerstone of social activity. Drawing on ANTs approach, I highlight the agency of these works in materializing and enhancing the reciprocal ties that bound networks of collectors and liefhebbers together with Rembrandt.

At the start of the seventeenth century the Leiden painter and printmaker Lucas van Leyden (1494-1533) ranked as the most important Dutch artist of the sixteenth century. His prints were rare and collectors paid high prices for good impressions. Rembrandt, too, collected his prints and managed, by spending a great deal of money, to aquire the complete graphicoeuvre of the artist he most admired. Exhibition: Rembrandthuis, Amsterdam (2011).
