Book Description
Rembrandt’s intriguing painting technique stirred the imaginations of art lovers during his lifetime and has done so ever since. In this book, now revised, updated, and with a new foreword by the author, Rembrandt’s pictorial intentions and the variety of materials and techniques he applied to create his fascinating effects are unraveled in depth. At the same time, this “archaeology” of Rembrandt’s paintings yields information on many other levels and offers a view of Rembrandt’s daily practice and artistic considerations while simultaneously providing a more dimensional image of the artist.
