REMBRANDT: THE PAINTINGS (TASCHEN 45TH) (HB)

He was the most sought-after painter in the prosperous trading city of Amsterdam yet died completely impoverished. Though he never left his homeland, Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn's (1606–1669) work extends far beyond the confines of his personal experience, constituting some of the most effective and multifaceted works in art history, such as The Night Watch, epitomizing the flowering of Dutch urban culture in the 17th century, and Self-Portrait as Zeuxis, which remains enigmatic to this day. Abridged, compact edition of the Taschen XXL publication, featuring Rembrandt's paintings in stunning reproductions.
