Rembrandt's eyes
49.99 €
Simon Schama, an unrivaled master of the popular historical narrative, with the brilliance of a professional novelist and the meticulousness of a professional historian, creates a dynamic and three-dimensional image of the Netherlands of the 17th century, the time when Leiden-born Rembrandt van Rijn triumphantly demonstrated the heights that Dutch painting could reach and earned the title of the greatest of painters for many centuries. The few extant documented accounts of the artist's life and career are masterfully woven into the variegated fabric of a vast and varied historical context. Commercial turmoil and political intrigue, the confrontation between the Spanish Habsburgs and the Dutch Republic, Catholics and Protestants, the flowering of democratic art in the Netherlands and sparkling painting "artist of kings" Rubens - a bustling, bizarre world where the art of the New Age was born. A world that became the scaffolding for the life and work of the Dutchman Rembrandt van Rijn, an artist whose painting seems to triumph over reality.
