During the period of Rembrandt's career the Amsterdam art market
grew with breathtaking speed. Each painter had to secure a place
professionally and make a living, which would have been no small
matter. In what kind of paintings should he specialize? How could
he distinguish his works from those of his colleagues and find
buyers for his products? How did he acquire a reputation, and how
much were clients willing to pay? Every painter would have
continuously asked himself such pressing questions. These are also
the leading questions of this study, which examines the depiction
of Biblical and other religious themes, classical mythology, and
classical and post-classical literature across the entire range of
production, from expensive high-quality works to cheap pictures.
The book begins at the moment that a considerable number of young
artists - among them Rembrandt - settled in Amsterdam. Twenty years
later, the quantity, diversity and quality of the production of
history paintings, propelled by artistic rivalry, reached its
summit.
