Description: The Dutch Golden Age of painting spawned some of history's greatest artists and artisans but few can boast the genius and legacy of Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn (1606 1669). Despite never leaving his native Netherlands Rembrandt projected his oeuvre past the boundaries of his own experience producing some of art's most diverse and impactful works across portraiture biblical allegorical landscape and genre scenes. In all their forms Rembrandt's paintings are built of intricacies the totality of each subtle facial wrinkle gaze or figure amounting to an emotional force that stands unmatched among his contemporaries and artistic progeny alike. Each work is imbued with feeling. Biblical scenes like Bathsheba at her Bath become vehicles for meditations on human longing probing depths beyond that which is canonized in scripture or depicted in other representations. His portraits be them of wealthy patrons or tradesmen communicate the essence of an individual through fine demarcations their faces bathed in an ethereal light against darkened earthtones. Perhaps most striking his series of self - portraits is a triumph of the medium; beginning in his youth and spanning until a year prior to his death Rembrandt's self portraiture is an intimate glimpse into his lifelong process of self - reflection. This monograph compiles all 330 of Rembrandt's paintings in stunning reproductions. From Belshazzar's Feast to The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp we discover Rembrandt's painted oeuvre like never before.
