Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn Book order
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, a Dutch painter and etcher, is celebrated as one of the greatest artists in European art history. His work, emerging during the Dutch Golden Age, is distinguished by a profound understanding of classical iconography, uniquely shaping it with personal experience and keen observation. Rembrandt's portraits of his contemporaries, his introspective self-portraits, and his dramatic biblical scenes showcase his empathy for the human condition and his ability to meld classical composition with his lived reality. His self-portraits, in particular, offer an intimate and sincere self-examination, creating a unique visual biography.

Dans la Hollande indépendante industrieuse et prospère du XVIIe siècle, Rembrandt vit l'ambition et la solitude, la fortune et la faillite, l'amour et le deuil, la gloire et l'incompréhension. La leçon d'anatomie du Professeur Tulp lui apporte la notoriété et les bourgeois se pressent chez lui pour commander leurs portraits. Mais La Compagnie du capitaine Frans Banningh Cocq – La Ronde de nuit – désarçonne... On le respecte toujours, on s'éloigne de lui. Pascal Bonafoux nous guide dans une œuvre où le fond et les figures ne font qu'un, ce qui, pour Delacroix, est le signe de la perfection.
