Rembrandt. The Painter at Work (New ed)

Rembrandt's paintings have been admired throughout centuries because of their artistic freedom.

But Rembrandt was also a craftsman whose painting technique was rooted the tradition.

This sweeping examination of Rembrandt's oeuvre is the result of a lifelong search for the artist's working methods, his intellectual approach to 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.
