Synopsis
Although the extensive literature on Rembrandt could fill a small library, there has been no up-to-date survey of his extraordinary achievement as a draftsman. Renowned Rembrandt scholar Seymour Slive fills this void with his scrutiny of some 150 drawings culled from a corpus of about 800 by the master. The drawings, reproduced in color, are accompanied by etchings and paintings by Rembrandt and others, including Leonardo and Raphael. Unlike other publications of Rembrandt’s drawings, they are here arranged thematically, which makes his genius crystal clear. Individual chapters focus on self-portraits, portraits of family members and friends, the lives of women and children, nudes, copies, model and study sheets, animals, landscapes and buildings, religious and mythological subjects, historical subjects, and genre scenes. Slive further discusses possible doubtful attributions, which account for the considerable reduction from earlier times in the number of drawings now ascribed to the master.

Hardcover. Black paper boards, tan & illus. dust jacket, 252 pp., many color illus. "This survey of Rembrandt's extraordinary achievement as a draftsman filles a gap in the otherwise enormous literature on Rembrandt. More than 150 drawings -- mostly illustrated in color -- made during every phase of his activity, are divided by subject into sixteen chapters: self=portraits, the life of women and children, religious subjects, landscapes, animals, nudes, and so forth. Rembrandt himself set the precedent for such a thematic arrangement. An exhaustive inventory that was made of the mature artist's effects tells us he kept many of his own drawings of different subjects in separate portfolios and books. Grouping his drawings by subject clarifies Rembrandt's astonishing range as a draftsman." (dj) Nice! New/Sealed In Publisher's Wrap; back corner dustjack has small tear & edge-wear.
