Synopsis
Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669) never left his homeland of the Netherlands but in his massive body of painting, drawing, and etching, he changed the course of Western art. His prolific oeuvre encompasses religious, historical, and secular scenes, as well as one of the most extraordinary series of portraits and self-portraits in history.
Rembrandt’s work foregrounds texture, light, and acute observation. Like sudden, startling apparitions in a shadowy street, his subjects are illuminated against deep, dark backgrounds and rendered with immense physical as well as psychological scrutiny. Whether biblical or mythological figures, powerful patrons, or fellow citizens, each subject is bestowed not only with meticulous facial features but also with the intrigue of thoughts and feelings so that even age-old narratives such as the bible story of David and Bathsheba find a new level of human drama. Rembrandt also left one of the most extensive series of self-portraits of any artist, chronicling his own face from his youth to the year of his death.
Rembrandt’s rise coincided with the blossoming of the Dutch Golden Age, an era of prosperity in the Netherlands. He was encouraged by wealthy patrons, but was above all driven by a profound fascination with people. In this book, we tour some of Rembrandt’s key paintings, etchings, and drawings to introduce his techniques, inspirations, and exceptional achievements. From the Baroque Belshazzar’s Feast to the world-famous Night Watch we uncover a world of deep, rich tones, masterful draftsmanship, and a remarkable sensitivity for the human condition.

Rembrandt REIMPRESION EN MAYO
Seller: Imosver, PONTECALDELAS, PO, Spain
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Condition: Nuevo. Pese a que nunca salió de su tierra natal en los Países Bajos, Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) cambió el curso del arte occidental con su extensísimo repertorio de pinturas, dibujos y grabados. Su prolífica obra abarca escenas religiosas, históricas y seculares, así como una de las más extraordinarias series de retratos y autorretratos de la historia.La textura, la luz y un agudo poder de observación son las características que identifican al maestro. Como repentinas y asombrosas apariciones en una oscura calle, los personajes brillan en fondos oscuros y profundos, fruto de una reproducción física y psicológica sumamente fiel y detallada. Ya sean figuras bíblicas o mitológicas, poderosos mecenas o conciudadanos, a todos ellos les confiere no sólo meticulosos rasgos faciales sino también la fuerza intrigante de los pensamientos y los sentimientos, de forma que incluso las narraciones de tiempos antiguos como el pasaje bíblico de David y Batseba alcanzan un nuevo nivel de drama humano. Rembrandt también fue el autor de una crónica de su propio rostro, desde su juventud hasta el año de su fallecimiento, compuesta por la serie más extensa de autorretratos jamás creada.Su ascenso coincidió con la eclosión de la Edad de Oro neerlandesa, época de prosperidad en los Países Bajos. Contó con el estímulo de ricos mecenas, pero, ante todo, lo impulsaba una profunda fascinación por las personas. En este libro repasamos algunas de las pinturas, grabados y dibujos clave de Rembrandt para presentar sus técnicas, inspiraciones y logros excepcionales. Desde el estilo barroco de El festín de Baltasar hasta la fama mundial de La ronda de noche, descubrimos un mundo de tonos ricos y profundos, un talento magistral para el dibujo y una extraordinaria sensibilidad por la condición humana.Sobre la serieCada libro de la Basic Art Series de TASCHEN incluye:un detallado sumario cronológico de la vida y obra del artista en el que se aborda su importancia histórica y cultural;una concisa biograf.
