Description and Table of Contents
Description
In his printmaking, Rembrandt covered the full range of styles and subjects for which he is celebrated, including self-portraits, scenes from the Bible, vignettes of every day, and character studies. Rembrandt was famously experimental, and often reworked his copper plates to improve and extend their expressive power. This work, published to coincide with a major exhibition at the Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam) and British Museum (London), aims to illustrate a selection of his finest prints. New areas of research have made it possible to follow the progress of Rembrandt's work on each plate, revealing details of his habit of revising the images at various times throughout his life.
