Roman Grigoryev
June - June 2003
Roman Grigoryev is chief curator of prints and drawings at the Hermitage and professor of art history at the European University in St. Petersburg. While at the Clark, Grigoryev continued his project Rembrandt’s Prints Re-examined: Pictorial Rhetoric of the Etched World, the first Russian monograph on Rembrandt’s etchings and the first to take full account of the rich collection of Rembrandt prints in the Hermitage. Grigoryev seeks to enhance understanding of Rembrandt’s printmaking career by examining the work in a structuralist and semiotic mode of analysis.
