Rembrandt Substance and Shadow (New Horizons) /anglais

by BONAFOUX/CAMPBELL

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 - nothing deflected him from his inner vision and his unique handling of which would change the course of painting for ever.

[Diane · Rating 4 out of 5]

At under 200 pages with illustrations on most pages, this brief biography from the New Horizons series of Thames & Hudson is a terrific overview of the artist’s somewhat sad life, and extraordinary work.

[Ali Miremadi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good short biography with a satisfyingly large number of reproductions which work despite the small scale.

[Krystl Louwagie · Rating 3 out of 5]

I don't feel like there's a whole lot to say about this book-not fiction, and translated I believe, so. It was organized and easy to read-as far as history of an artist goes, it was a quick and easy read, but not wonderfully compelling or in depth. But it was what I'd expected it to be.

A really enjoyable biography on one of the great Dutch Masters.
