Celebrated for his penetrating portraits, richly detailed landscapes and evocative narrative paintings, the 17th-century artist Rembrandt is considered one of Europe's greatest painters and printmakers, and the master of the Dutch School. His work is distinguished by loose brushwork, luminous palettes and a sense of order and movement reminiscent of the best Renaissance art.

Packed with impeccably reproduced images, this book offers large-scale pages of his masterpieces, as well as enlarged details that allow every aspect of the artist's technique and work to be appreciated.

Organised chronologically, the book covers important biographical and historical events, reflecting the most recent research.
