Supremely successful at the beginning of his life; lonely, bankrupt and virtually ignored at its end, Rembrandt produced some of the most powerful and psychologically penetrating works in the whole of world art. Poverty, illness, the deaths of his wife, children and devoted mistress â¿ nothing deflected him from his inner vision and his unique handling of light: which would change the course of painting for ever.
Rembrandt (1606-1669), celebrated as the supreme painter of the human condition, famously turned the intense spotlight of his empathetic vision on himself. In the course of his sixty years, he produced almost one hundred self-portraits, in mediums ranging from paintings to drawings to engravings. Rembrandt by Rembrandt reproduces all of Rembrandt's self-portraits, with biographical commentary about each one, in an appealing portable format that makes a perfect gift for any art lover.
