Rembrandt: The Art of Inner Vision

Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) has long been considered one of the greatest artists in European history. His attention to detail, empathetic portrayals of his subjects' emotions, and spectacular manipulation of light and shadow have launched a thousand imitations and homages, including best-selling novels, a recent TV series, and even a handful of popular films. His work is perennially popular with museums, historians, and the art-viewing public alike. Now, for the first time, this lovely text by Émile Michel is paired with carefully curated selections from Rembrandt's portfolio to illuminate the history and work of this celebrated master of light.
