The Syndics 1876

"The Syndics" is an 1876 etching by Léopold Flameng, a French artist known for his prints, particularly after works by Old Masters. This piece depicts a group of men, likely government officials or guild leaders, seated at a table in a dimly lit room. Flameng masterfully captures the somber tone and dramatic light of Rembrandt's original 1662 painting, capturing the same solemn demeanor and intricate detail of the figures and their attire. The etching is a testament to the meticulous skill of Flameng and the enduring power of Rembrandt's iconic work.
