REMBRANDT

by Elizabeth Ripley ‧ RELEASE DATE: Nov. 7, 1955

Continuing her series of artists' lives told through the course of their work, this is an excellent word and picture story of Rembrandt's life in Holland, and a book for the interested at any age level. Thirty five plates arranged in chronological order have been well reproduced and matched with texts that illumine Rembrandt, the man, as he was painting them. With the texts, the pictures- the frank, alive early self portraits, the bustling activity of the Night Watch, the fatigued introspection of David playing the Harp before Saul- parallel Rembrandt's happy-tragic life.
