Description
Rembrandt: Colour Library by Michael Kitson is a comprehensive survey of the life and work of one of the world's greatest masters. This revised edition draws on recent scholarship to provide a fresh understanding of Rembrandt's art, revealing a deeply perceptive artist who sought to go beyond superficialities in his paintings. Through his many self-portraits and works such as The Night Watch, The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Tulp, and the Staal Meesters, Rembrandt demonstrated an interest in the study of human nature. His studies of Saskia, his wife, and Hendrickje Stoffels reveal a deeply sensuous and compassionate side to his art. This book provides an ideal introduction to Rembrandt's career, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to explore the life and work of this beloved artist.
