by 24 March 1687: Marten Davidsz. van Ceulen, Amsterdam (?) by 1752: Marc-René de Voyer d'Argenson (1722-1782), Paris (as ‘Un grand tableau de Rembrant, représentant le reniement de S. Pierre’) 1759 or 1760: purchased by Claude-Alexandre de Villeneuve, comte de Vence (1702-1760), Paris, from Marc-René de Voyer d'Argenson, Paris from 9 February 1761 until 17 February 1761: sale of the collection of Comte de Vence at P. Remy, Paris, lot no. 49, for FRF 500 (as ‘Rembrandt Van-Rhein. Un excellent Tableau représentant le Reniement de S. Pierre. Ce tableau est peint sur toile, de 4 pieds 8 pouces de haut, sur 5 pieds 2 pouces de large.’) by 1780: Sylvain-Raphaël de Baudouin, Paris (as ‘Deux grands tableaux faisant pendants. L'un représente le réniement de St. pierre; Cet Apôtre la Tète et le Corps couverts d'une grande Draperie de Laine blanche, Est deboust devant un foÿer. Sa main droite est appuïée sur sa poitrine, et de la gauche il semble se déffendre de la question que lui fait une Servante qui l'envisage avec attention a la clarté d'une lumière qu'elle tient entre ses doigts. Un Soldat armé de toutes pièces assis près du foÿer et dont le Casque et l'epée sont posés devant lui tient dans ses mains une grosse Cruche et cefse de boire pour écouter la réponce de l'apotre qu'il regarde attentivement. On apperçoit dèrierre lui un autre Soldat deboust appuÿé sur son Epée; il est aufsi armé de toutes pieces, et porte la même attention sur St. pierre. Ces quatre figures sont de grandeur de nature. Au haut du tableau on voit a droite sur un plan plus éloigné jesus avec deux Soldats, dont un lui tient les mains liées derrière le dos; Il est deboust devant trois juges Coëffés de turbans. L'effet étonnant de ce morceau qui ne reçoit la lumière que de la Chandelle qui est entre les doigts de la Servante,. L'espression, la couleur vigoureuse et la fierté de la touche, le mettent au rang des plus Capitaux de ce maître. Largeur 5. pieds 1. pouce, sur 4. pieds 8. pouces de haut’) 1781: purchased by Melchior Grimm from Sylvain-Raphaël de Baudouin, Paris for Catherine II of Russia (1729-1796), Saint Petersburg 10 July 1933: purchased by the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, Amsterdam, from the Soviet Union |
