A compelling reconsideration of Rembrandt's printed oeuvre based on
new research into the artist's life and work As a pioneering
printmaker, Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) stood apart from his
contemporaries thanks to his innovative approach to composition and
his skillful rendering of space and light. He worked with the
medium as a vehicle for artistic expression and experimentation,
causing many to proclaim him the greatest etcher of all time.
Moreover, the dissemination of the artist's prints outside of the
Dutch Republic during his lifetime contributed greatly to
establishing Rembrandt's reputation throughout Europe. Sumptuously
illustrated with comparative paintings and drawings as well as
prints, this important volume draws on exciting new scholarship on
Rembrandt's etchings. Authors Jaco Rutgers and Timothy J. Standring
examine the artist's prints from many angles. They reveal how
Rembrandt intentionally varied the states of his etchings, printed
them on exotic papers, and retouched prints by hand to create
rarities for a clientele that valued unique impressions.
