Rembrandt by Ernst Van De Wetering
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.
'The book is - if one may be allowed to say such a thing about a serious scholarly work - a gripping good-read'[-]Christopher White - The Burlington Magazine[-][-]'This is a very rich book, a deeply felt analysis of an artist whom the author knows better than almost any other living scholar.'[-]Christopher Brown - Times Literary Supplement[-][-]'Who would not have wanted to look over Rembrandts shoulder while he painted? Among the countless books on Rembrandt, that by Ernst van de Wetering comes closest to conveying something of this experience because the author combines the qualifications of a trained connoisseur and of a practising painter.'[-]Ernst Gombrich
