Rembrandt. Jessica Hodge. 1995.

Rembrandt has long been recognized as one of the supreme geniuses in the history of art. His paintings are unequaled for their eloquence and compassion, their emotional depth, and their expressive mastery of light and colour.

This richly illustrated volume introduces the reader to the full and extraordinary range of Rembrandt’s work. A detailed and authoritative introduction sets his life in its contemporary context; the Dutch Republic gained independence from Spain soon after Rembrandt’s birth, and his lifetime spanned a Dutch Golden Age of commercial, literary and artistic activity.
