Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn (1606-1669) stands as one of the most important painters in Western art, but nowhere else do we encounter his inimitable talent more so than in his drawings and etchings. Hinged upon experimentation and expressive line work, they garnered him unparalleled recognition from his contemporaries. Each portrait or quotidian scene is elevated by his masterful treatment of light, shadow, and hatching. There is another world to be accessed within Rembrandt's etchings--one that dwells within the intangibilities of moody midnight contemplation and the twilit countryside, these elusive moments fixed to the page with every stroke. Meanwhile, Rembrandt's drawings display his emotional state with a candor unseen in other works. Using pen and brush, silverpoint and charcoal as well as colored chalks and ink, he drew on various types of paper which he also sometimes dyed beforehand. Commemorating the 350th anniversary of the artist's death, this stunning XXL monograph is the first-ever collection gathering Rembrandt's complete works on paper. Through the 708 drawings, brilliantly printed in color for the first time, and 314 etchings in pristine reproductions, we discover Rembrandt's keen eye, deft hand, and boundless depth of feeling like never before; and above all, we witness that he was far more than just a painter.

Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn (1606-1669) gilt als einer der wichtigsten Maler der abendländischen Kunst, doch zeigt sich sein unvergleichliches Talent besonders in seinem grafischen Werk. Mit nur wenigen präzisen Linien zauberte er ausdrucksstarke Gesichter und lebendige Momente aufs Blatt, was zur uneingeschränkten Bewunderung seiner Zeitgenossen führte. Rembrandts Zeichnungen decken sowohl inhaltlich wie stilistisch ein weites Spektrum ab. Ob mit Feder oder Pinsel, mit Kohle, farbigen Kreiden oder Tinte - die Figuren- und Gesichtsstudien belegen eindrucksvoll seine langjährige Beschäftigung mit dem menschlichen Ausdruck . Dazu kommen biblische Darstellungen , die er mit großem Erfindungsreichtum neu in Szene setzte. Die Radierungen bestechen durch den präzisen Umgang mit Licht und Schatten. Selbst schwer zu fassende Nachtdarstellungen und Landschaften in der Dämmerung hielt er mit seinem Grabstichel auf der Kupferplatte fest. Anlässlich des 350. Todestags des Künstlers versammelt diese XXL-Monografie erstmalig sämtliche Papierarbeiten Rembrandts - 708 Zeichnungen zum ersten Mal überhaupt in brillanten Farbabbildungen, sowie 314 hochwertig reproduzierte Radierungen .
