Published to coincide with the major exhibition at the National Gallery this autumn, here is the ultimate book on Rembrandt’s art and life – his work as an artist, his family, friends and patrons, his place in European culture – by one of the world’s best-known writers on Dutch art. Designed to be the Rembrandt book of first resort, this complete and accessible volume, available again in a new, reduced format edition, will be an invaluable work of reference and vital reading for art lovers, art students and museum-goers.
