REMBRANDT’S JOURNEY

Sinopsis del producto

Rembrandt changed the course of art history not only as a painter, but also as a draftsman and printmaker. His output of nearly 300 etchings represents a lifelong commitment to printmaking unequaled by any other seventeenth-century painter, and comparable only to Picasso in our own time. Rembrandf´s Journey: Painter-Draftsman-Etcher unfolds the richness and diversity of Rembrandt´s career as an etcher inthe context of his paintings and drawings. Illustrated with some 200 works in all three media, this book traces the remarkable evolution of Rembrandt´s art over four decades, from the robust physical energy of his early productions to the breadth, simplicity, and meditative beauty of his later work. It establishes new and important connections among these works and among the three media that the artist explored throughout his career. It encompasses the wide range of his visión, from the tragic and spiritual to the earthy and comic. And it gives full due to Rembrandt´s narrative sensibilities, showing how he endowed his figures (particularly in biblical scenes) with unprecedented psychological nuance and vividness. Published to accompany the first comprehensive American survey of his work in decades, Rembrandt´s Journey offers a fresh, authoritative view of this endlessly familiar, yet still unknown, artist.
