Published on the occasion of a major exhibition bringing together
the best Rembrandt paintings from American collections. The great
seventeenth-century Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn is one of the
most important painters in the history of European art. This richly
illustrated volume gathers some fifty of the finest paintings by
the Dutch master and his followers from private and public
collections across America, including the National Gallery of Art
in Washington, D.C., and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New
York.
Rembrandt had an uncanny ability to depict light and shadow, and to
capture the emotions of his sitters. In addition to his portraits,
he is also known for historical scenes. Highlighting the authentic
Rembrandts in America during the late nineteenth century's Gilded
Age, a time when American tycoons cultivated a passion for
collecting European masterpieces, the book also features fifteen to
twenty works that were originally attributed to the master's hand
but are now recognized as paintings by his successors, contemporary
followers, and later imitators.
An introduction focusing on Rembrandt as a cultural phenomenon is
followed by essays devoted to his life, the controversy associated
with his workshop, and the pursuit of Rembrandt in America.
Published in association with the Cleveland Museum of Art, the
North Carolina Museum of Art, and the Minneapolis Institute of Arts
