	CLARK, KENNETH [INTRODUCTION AND NOTES] One Hundred Details from Pictures in The National Gallery London, Printed By Harrison & Sons for the Trustees. 1944, Reprint. Hard Cover, Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. Publishers original textured pale green cloth covers, discoloured edges and light stain top spine edge of front board. White endpapers, no inscription, booksellers label to rear of front cover, light foxing. v-xxviii text pages. 100pp. of b/w plates, some full page. This book contains one hundred photographic reproductions of details taken from pictures in the National Gallery. They have been chosen chiefly for their beauty, and since two details must face one another when the book is opened, they have been arranged in such a way as to bring out certain analogies and contrasts. As with any form of anthology, the choice must ultimately reflect the taste of the chooser, and this may be one reason why so many details are taken from Italian painting of the 15th and 16th centuries. But there is another reason, that pictures in a style based on firm delineation, a style requiring equal finish in all parts, yield far better details than pictures in what may be called an impressionist style, where the degree of finish grows less as the eye moves away from the focal point. Although almost all the details are beautiful in themselves, a few are chosen for historical or iconographical reasons, as for example Bassano and Filippiono. Very Good/No Jacket.

Constantly innovating and improving, in drawing and etching, as well as painting, he relentlessly pressed his art to its limits to express his beliefs and concerns. Here the author tells Rembrandt's story through his art, relating it to the documentary evidence which has survived, and placing it in the context of his time, the Holland of Calvinism and expanding capitalism.

	CLARK, KENNETH [INTRODUCTION AND NOTES] One Hundred Details from Pictures in The National Gallery London, Printed By Harrison & Sons for the Trustees. 1944, Reprint. Hard Cover, Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. Publishers original textured pale green cloth covers, discoloured edges and light stain top spine edge of front board. White endpapers, no inscription, booksellers label to rear of front cover, light foxing. v-xxviii text pages. 100pp. of b/w plates, some full page. This book contains one hundred photographic reproductions of details taken from pictures in the National Gallery. They have been chosen chiefly for their beauty, and since two details must face one another when the book is opened, they have been arranged in such a way as to bring out certain analogies and contrasts. As with any form of anthology, the choice must ultimately reflect the taste of the chooser, and this may be one reason why so many details are taken from Italian painting of the 15th and 16th centuries. But there is another reason, that pictures in a style based on firm delineation, a style requiring equal finish in all parts, yield far better details than pictures in what may be called an impressionist style, where the degree of finish grows less as the eye moves away from the focal point. Although almost all the details are beautiful in themselves, a few are chosen for historical or iconographical reasons, as for example Bassano and Filippiono. Very Good/No Jacket.

This is not an art book, it is a book about a man. Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn was one of the greatest artists there has ever been, some say the greatest. Towering above other painters of the Dutch School, this uncompromising genius too what he needed from Baroque and Classical art and created an entirely personal style. Constantly innovating and improving, in drawing and etching, as well as painting, he relentlessly pressed his art to its limits to express his beliefs and concerns. Here the author tells Rembrandt's story through his art, relating it to the documentary evidence which has survived, and placing it in the context of his time, the Holland of Calvinism and expanding capitalism.
