Rembrandt by Norbert Wolf
Rare and intimate works by one of the art world's masters are beautifully presented in an exquisite book that allows readers the feeling of looking over Rembrandt's shoulder. A painter celebrated for his portraits, Rembrandt excelled at capturing the sensuality of his subjects. This collection of drawings and prints showcases Rembrandt's finest erotic work. Some of these pieces were originally created as studies, while others were intended solely for private enjoyment. Each possesses the sublime qualities that distinguish Rembrandt's work: emotional intensity, the artist's frank and unwavering gaze, an acute understanding of the human body and the ability to suggest its energy and grace in just a few lines. Packaged to replicate an artist's notebook, this latest volume in a popular series features an embossed cover and informative text. Its simplicity and beauty make it the perfect gift for a friend or a lover.
'..in his erotic sketches, one glimpses a comic side of the genius as well as darker undertones of his personality...what remarkable drawings these are.' Antiques Magazine, September 22, 2006'The books give a sense of watching the artist at work, following their trains of thought and attempts to marry the concepts of Eros and sexuality. Each book offers perfect examples of the characteristic styles of each artist as well as exhibiting a remarkable distinction in their differing approaches to the given subject'The Art Commerce Journal, April 2007
