Description

This sweeping overview of Rembrandt's extraordinary achievement as a draughtsman fills a gap in the otherwise enormous literature on the artist. Beautifully illustrated, mostly in colour, the more than 150 drawings—culled from a corpus of some 800—are discussed in detail.

The drawings span Rembrandt's entire productive life as an artist, from early self-portraits in the 1620s to late drawings from the 1660s of the victim of an execution, a state coach, and historical and mythological images.

The scope of the book allows readers to delve into the very broad range of Rembrandt's oeuvre of drawings.

The Drawings of Rembrandt by Seymour Silve provides an in-depth look at the versatility and depth of Rembrandt's work through careful selection and analysis.
