Rembrandt Etchings: Looking at Rembrandt's Prints - Michiel Kersten

Descriere Rembrandt Etchings: Looking at Rembrandt's Prints - Michiel Kersten

\nDiscover the Beauty of Rembrandt's Prints\n \nIn his day, Rembrandt was better known as an etcher than as a painter. Looking at Rembrandt's prints requires a little time and patience from the viewer, but the rewards are enormous. Rembrandt moved expertly between genres, demonstrating his ingenuity, insight into human emotion and mastery of the etching medium in every image. The compositions are beautifully balanced despite a wealth of narrative detail. Every line has a purpose - nothing is accidental or left to chance.\n \nRembrandt Etchings is an accessible book that will guide you on your visual journey of discovery, and allow you to see why Rembrandt was the greatest of all 17th-century printmakers. You will learn a great deal about the technical aspect of printmaking, Rembrandt's choice of papers, his expertise in marketing his etchings, and prints are discussed per genre.\n \nWritten by the Dutch art historian Michiel Kersten, an expert in the field of Dutch 17th-century art.\n
