Description
Rembrandt's Jews by Steven M. Nadler is a thought-provoking exploration of the artist's relationship with Jewish people and Judaism. Nadler examines the enduring myth that Rembrandt had a special affinity for Judaism, separating fact from fiction to reveal a more nuanced picture. The book delves into Rembrandt's life in 17th-century Amsterdam, where he was surrounded by a diverse community of Jews fleeing persecution in Europe. Through his portraits and everyday interactions with Jewish sitters, Nadler sheds light on the tolerant setting that allowed for the flourishing of Sephardic and Ashkenazic cultures. By examining Rembrandt's work alongside that of other prominent Dutch artists, Nadler builds a rich account of the complex relationship between Dutch and Jewish cultures during this period.
