Author: REMBRANDT - JOHN GREGORY, IRENA ZDANOWICZ
Title: Rembrandt in the Collections of the National Gallery of Victoria
Description: National Gallery of Victoria, 1988. Paperback / Softcover.28,5 x 21,5 cm. With illustrations in color and b/w. 156 pages. - Very good/near fine copy * *** This comprehensive and lushly illustrated volume considers Rembrandt from three basic viewpoints -- collecting; paintings; drawings and prints. As he was an enormously prolific draftsman (over 2,000 of his drawings survive) and 300 etchings (a third of which are housed in the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne), the information on his prints is especially informative, covering his techniques, the Dutch tradition, self-portraits, religious subjects, landscapes, nudes, genre, illustration. Provocative text covers periods of art collecting, issues of attribution, and varying patterns of estimation about him during the 20th century. Analyses of works are original and thought-provoking.
