Harmensz van Rijn Rembrandt Books
Rembrandt van Rijn stands as one of the greatest artists in European history and a pivotal figure in Dutch art. During the Dutch Golden Age, he achieved success as a portraitist, though his later life was marked by personal tragedy and financial hardship. Nevertheless, his works remained popular, and his influence on subsequent generations of painters was profound. Rembrandt's most celebrated works, including portraits of contemporaries, self-portraits, and biblical scenes, demonstrate a deep understanding of the human condition and classical iconography, which he shaped through his own experience.
The Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) was one of the greatest draftsman of all time. Even small and quick sketches reveal his incomparable skill in capturing compositions, figures, groups, human gestures, facial expressions and landscapes with just a few strokes. Although some of Rembrandt's drawings served as preparatory studies for paintings and etchings, most are conceptual works in which he investigated motifs of movement and expression, recording ideas for his own works and those produced by pupils in his studio. Encompassing works from Rembrandt's entire career, this compact and exquisitely produced monograph presents the full spectrum of the genres and materials used in the drawings. In addition, recent scholarship has revealed that many drawings once attributed to Rembrandt were in fact done by his pupils. Of the 126 drawings in the important Berlin collection from which this volume draws its illustrations, only 55 are still considered original works by the master. Each of these is presented here within a scholarly text by Holm Bevers. As well, a selection of 25 drawings by Rembrandt's pupils is examined in light of the most recent research.

Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669) gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Künstler des Barock. Während des »Goldenen Zeitalters« der niederländischen Kunst schuf er ebenso virtuos wie facettenreich Porträts, Landschafts- und Historienbilder und bearbeitete biblische und mythologische Themen. Er war nicht nur ein Meister von Licht und Schatten, des Chiaroscuro, auch aufgrund seiner Themenwahl gilt er als »Erneuerer der Malerei«. 1631 zog er von Leiden nach Amsterdam, wo er rasch zu einem der bedeutendsten Porträtkünstler avancierte und eine erfolgreiche Werkstatt führte. Seine Bilder wurden schon zu Lebzeiten durch Kupferstiche und Kopien verbreitet und vielfach rezipiert, dennoch starb er in Armut. Sein Werk umfasst etwa 350 Gemälde, 700 Zeichnungen und 314 Radierungen, von denen 20 der berühmtesten in diesem Postkarten-Set versammelt sind.
