Book Synopsis Rembrandt by Himself by : Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn

Download or read book Rembrandt by Himself written by Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn and published by National Gallery London. This book was released on 1999 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, written by authorities in the field, maps the many developments in Rembrandt’s self-portraiture during his life and attempts to explain exactly why this genre played such a dominant role in his work. The authors give new emphasis to the tradition of self-portrayal in Netherlandish art and the impact of his innovative style on his contemporaries (whether artists or collectors) and on his followers. Significant reinterpretations of Rembrandt’s approach also arise from a close investigation of lesser-known aspects of his work, such as his manipulation of his features or his depiction of himself in a variety of highly authentic historical costumes.
