Rembrandt: The Paintings. 45Th Ed

Beskrivelse

Rembrandt was the most sought-after painter in Amsterdam during its prosperous trading era, yet he died in poverty. His work, created entirely within his homeland, transcends personal boundaries and remains some of the most powerful and complex art in history.

Discover the enduring legacy of Rembrandt’s masterful paintings from the Dutch Golden Age.

Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn (1606–1669) never left the Netherlands, but his art reached far beyond his own experiences. Iconic pieces like The Night Watch capture the vibrant spirit of 17th-century Dutch urban culture, while works such as Self-Portrait as Zeuxis continue to intrigue viewers with their mystery.

Known for his focus on human emotion, Rembrandt explored themes of passion and vulnerability. His biblical scenes, including Bathsheba with King David’s Letter (1654), reveal a depth of feeling rarely seen before in painting. Additionally, Rembrandt created an extensive series of self-portraits, unmatched by any other artist of his time, chronicling his journey from youth to old age.

This edition offers a compact yet rich collection of Rembrandt’s paintings in stunning reproductions. From early masterpieces like Belshazzar’s Feast (c. 1635) to his intense later works, it provides a fresh way to experience the full range of Rembrandt’s artistic brilliance.
