Not Rembrandt

I've stumbled on a few printmakers, who, while studying (I assume), decided to make copies of Rembrandt's work.

Three Trees Copied by Reverend Richard Byron (the one born in 1724).

The Adoration of the Shepherds by Ernst Gottlob (Who was alive from 1744-1789 and active at the Leipzig academy according to the grove encyclopedia and may also have been a pastellist).

I wonder if we could create a show of the complete Rembrandt catalog just with his imitators? BTW, I found both in Philly in case you didn't notice.
