Product Description

Product Description

Together with "Rembrandt: The Master and his Workshop (Drawings and Etchings)", this book serves as the catalogue for a major exhibition of Rembrandt's paintings, drawings, and etchings opening at the Altes Museum in Berlin and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam in 1991. Paintings and etchings from this exhibition will later be on display at the National Gallery in London; the drawings will be shown at the British Museum. In this volume on the paintings, prominent experts discuss Rembrandt's life, his technique, the organization of his workshop, and the history of critical response to him. The authors then present detailed studies of 51 paintings definately attributed to Rembrandt, from his earliest biblical subjects to the last self-portrait. The final section of the book discusses the work of Rembrandt's pupils, including Ferdinand Bol, Gerrit Dou, and Nicolaes Maes. Paintings once assumed to be by Rembrandt are attributed to these pupils and are related to other works they have done.

5.0 out of 5 stars important scholarly contribution, Oct 9 2007

This review is from: Rembrandt: The Master and His Workshop: Paintings (Hardcover)
The book offers a nice introduction to the artist's life and times. Also provides excellent insights regarding the workshop and distinguishing between Rembrandt's art and that of his pupils. The scholarship is indepth and apt, most of the writers being part of the Rembrandt Project. There are 83 separate plates (most in color) with wonderful essays and explanations.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good but some editing could have helped, Aug 31 2011
By KB MD - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rembrandt: The Master and His Workshop, 2 Vol. Boxed Set (Hardcover)
Although possibly a bit out of date in 2011, this is still an excellent set. Fine selection of paintings, drawings, and graphic works with varied analysis and good introductry essays.
Keeping it from 5 star in my opinion are numerous inaccuracies and irritating typos that could and should have been picked up by editing prior to publication.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you can't see Rembrandt in person, this is the book, Oct 9 2006
By tic - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rembrandt: The Master and His Workshop, 2 Vol. Boxed Set (Hardcover)
This box set is the most prized possession on my bookshelf. I could not possibly do the pictures and information in this book justice with words. Some of the most amazing detail photographs of Rembrandt's surfaces that I have ever seen.
