Rembrandt

Rembrandt's paintings have been admired throughout centuries for their artistic freedom. But Rembrandt was also a craftsman whose painting technique was rooted in the tradition. This revised new edition is the fruit of lifelong study of Rembrandt's working methods, his intellectual approach to the art of painting and the organization of his studio. Van de Wetering demonstrates how this knowledge can be used to answer questions about authenticity and other art-historical issues. Some 350 illustrations, half of which are reproduced in colour, make this book into a monumental tribute to one of the world's most important painters.
