Rembrandt van Rijn Livres

    Rembrandt van Rijn fut un maître de l'Âge d'Or néerlandais dont l'art explora les profondeurs de l'expérience humaine. À travers ses portraits et autoportraits, renommés pour leur sincérité sans faille et leur absence de vanité, il a capturé l'essence de ses contemporains et de lui-même. Ses représentations magistrales de scènes bibliques étaient éclairées par une connaissance approfondie de l'iconographie classique, de la précision textuelle et une observation attentive de la vie, ce qui lui valut la réputation de « l'un des grands prophètes de la civilisation ». Son héritage réside dans sa capacité à allier brio technique et profonde perspicacité empathique envers la condition humaine.

      The Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) was one of the greatest draftsman of all time. Even small and quick sketches reveal his incomparable skill in capturing compositions, figures, groups, human gestures, facial expressions and landscapes with just a few strokes. Although some of Rembrandt's drawings served as preparatory studies for paintings and etchings, most are conceptual works in which he investigated motifs of movement and expression, recording ideas for his own works and those produced by pupils in his studio. Encompassing works from Rembrandt's entire career, this compact and exquisitely produced monograph presents the full spectrum of the genres and materials used in the drawings. In addition, recent scholarship has revealed that many drawings once attributed to Rembrandt were in fact done by his pupils. Of the 126 drawings in the important Berlin collection from which this volume draws its illustrations, only 55 are still considered original works by the master. Each of these is presented here within a scholarly text by Holm Bevers. As well, a selection of 25 drawings by Rembrandt's pupils is examined in light of the most recent research.
