A classic monograph in The World of Art series, offering a detailed overview of Rembrandt's life and work. Rembrandt is one of the few Old Master artists who retains a universal appeal among art lovers today; his striking self-portraits are praised around the world, yet he remains an elusive and enigmatic figure.

In this book, the distinguished art historian Christopher White carefully analyses the known facts to construct a sensitive and comprehensive account of the artist's life and work. He describes the radiant happiness of his marriage, tragically cut short by the death of his wife, and analyses the catastrophe of his bankruptcy. It also explores the psychological factors that may have awakened Rembrandt's sudden interest in landscape, as well as his last decade, when he retreated into the private world of his imagination. This comprehensive introduction has been revised and updated to reflect the most recent scholarship, and the bibliography has been expanded; Rembrandt's works are faithfully reproduced in colour throughout.
