One of the greatest fine artists in Western art history, and certainly the greatest Dutch artist, Rembrandt van Rijn differed from other Dutch Masters of the 17th century in his wide range of subjects, including historical, pastoral, and Biblical scenes, group paintings, and his widely celebrated portraits and self-portraits, which form a visual autobiography of an artist who wrote almost nothing about his own thoughts or musings. This compact yet attractive introduction to Rembrandt is illustrated with 82 color plates, reproducing such images as Night Watch, Girl in a Picture Frame, Danae, and The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp, as well as several images of his wife and model Hendrickje Stoffels and several self-portraits.
