Landmarks in Art History: Rembrandt

More about the book

Professor Rosenberg begins his study of the greatest of all Dutch artists with a chapter on his life and its relationship to his art. In chapters on portraits, landscapes, Biblical scenes and genre, he discusses the paintings, etchings and drawings (which are reproduced alongside the text) and characterizes the problems peculiar to each category. The final chapters are devoted to a general discussion of Rembrandt's style and technique and of his place among his contemporary artists.
