The Ashmolean Museum holds a world-class collection of over 200
prints made by Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn (1606-1669). Widely
hailed as the greatest painter of the Dutch Golden Age, Rembrandt
was also one of the most innovative and experimental printmakers of
the seventeenth century. Rembrandt was extraordinary in creating
prints not merely as multiples to be distributed but also as
artistic expressions by using the etching printmaking technique for
the sketchy compositions so typical of him. Almost drawing-like in
appearance, these images were created by combining spontaneous
lines with his remarkable sense for detail. Rembrandt was a keen
observer and this clearly shows in his choice of subjects for his
etchings: intense self-portraits with their penetrating gaze;
atmospheric views of the Dutch countryside; lifelike beggars seen
in the streets of his native Leiden; intimate family portraits as
well as portrayals of his wealthy friends in Amsterdam; and
biblical stories illustrated with numerous figures. This book
presents Rembrandt as an unrivalled storyteller through a selection
of over 70 prints from the Ashmolean collection through a variety
of subjects ranging from 1630 until the late 1650s.
