A master of drawing, painting, and printmaking, Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-69) is widely considered one of the finest visual artists in the history of Western art, and the most important in Dutch history. He stands out from other 17th-century masters of the Dutch Golden Age with his wide range of subjects and styles, including portraits and self-portraits, landscapes, genre scenes, animal studies, allegories and historical scenes, and biblical and mythological subjects. Boasting outstanding color reproductions on nearly every page, this art book is both affordable and compact (measuring just under 7½ inches square) yet offers a surprisingly wide-ranging survey of this important modern artist, with an introductory essay, titles, and captions in six languages.
