Rembrandts paintings have been admired throughout centuries because of their artistic freedom. But Rembrandt was also a craftsman whose painting technique was rooted the tradition. Rembrandt--The Painter at Work is the result of a lifelong search for Rembrandts working methods, his intellectual approach to the art of painting and the way in which his studio functioned. Ernst van de Wetering demonstrates how this knowledge can be used to tackle questions about authenticity and other art-historical issues. Approximately 350 illustrations, half of which are reproduced in colour, make this book into a monumental tribute to one of the worlds most important painters.

"The book is--if one may be allowed to say such a thing about a serious scholarly work--a gripping good-read.'
Christopher White, The Burlington Magazine

"This is a very rich book, a deeply felt analysis of an artist whom the author knows better than almost any other living scholar."
Christopher Brown, Times Literary Supplement

Rembrandts schilderijen worden al eeuwenlang bewonderd om hun artistieke vrijheid. Maar Rembrandt was ook een vakman met een van de traditie afgeleide techniek. 'Rembrandt - The Painter at Work' is het resultaat van een langdurig onderzoek naar Rembrandts werkmethodes, zijn intellectuele benadering van de schilderkunst en de manier waarop zijn studio functioneert. Ernst van de Wetering laat zien hoe deze kennis gebruikt kan worden om vragen over authenticiteit en andere kunsthistorische thema's aan te pakken. De vele illustraties, bijna 350 waarvan de helft in kleur, maken van dit boek een monumentaal eerbetoon aan een van 's werelds belangrijkste schilders.

Dit boek heeft de prestigieuze Amerikaanse prijs, de College Art Association/Heritage Preservation Award gekregen
