Riassunto

Although the extensive literature on Rembrandt could fill a small library, there has been no up-to-date survey of his extraordinary achievement as a draftsman. Renowned Rembrandt scholar Seymour Slive fills this void with his scrutiny of some 150 drawings culled from a corpus of about 800 by the master. The drawings, reproduced in color, are accompanied by etchings and paintings by Rembrandt and others, including Leonardo and Raphael. Unlike other publications of Rembrandt’s drawings, they are here arranged thematically, which makes his genius crystal clear. Individual chapters focus on self-portraits, portraits of family members and friends, the lives of women and children, nudes, copies, model and study sheets, animals, landscapes and buildings, religious and mythological subjects, historical subjects, and genre scenes. Slive further discusses possible doubtful attributions, which account for the considerable reduction from earlier times in the number of drawings now ascribed to the master.

Product Description:

This title presents an authoritative and highly illustrated survey of nearly 150 drawings from one of the world's greatest-ever draftsmen. Rembrandt is one of the world's most famous and most studied artists, yet there has been no up-to-date survey of his extraordinary achievements as a draftsman - until now. In this superbly illustrated volume, acclaimed Rembrandt scholar Seymour Slive provides an in-depth study of nearly 150 of the artist's drawings - accompanied by etchings and paintings - arranged thematically, focusing on everything from self-portraits and portraits of family and friends to religious and historical subjects. "Rembrandt Drawings" also includes a discussion of some of the more doubtful attributions to Rembrandt's body of work, which accounts for the considerable reduction in the number of drawings ascribed to the master from his early life.
