Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the works of Rembrandt to posit an argument that he was the foremost pioneer of what is now known as the portrait genre. By closely examining two of his famous self-portraits, the author unpacks Rembrandt's development of a new type of portrait painting. Departing from the commissioned portrayals used to commemorate status and position, he instead painted with an exploration of light, color, and texture. By doing so, Rembrandt sought to reveal a deeper emotional complexity and sense of human experience that replaced the rigidity of Renaissance portraits. His goal was to capture the sitter not as they wished to appear, but as they truly were. This book further adds to the ongoing discussion surrounding Rembrandt's contribution to the trajectory of portrait painting through thoughtful examination of his life and work.
