Rembrandt's nose
9.99 €
One of the greatest painters in the history of Western art, a consummate master of drawing and etching, Rembrandt remains an enigma: no one has yet been able to explain why he was able to capture the spiritual essence of his models with such effortless precision.
Deep, insightful, and at the same time accessible, this book, written by renowned researcher and translator Michael Taylor, will be of interest both to specialists in Rembrandt's work and to anyone interested in his legacy and biography. Looking closely at the portraits and self-portraits of the Dutch master, in his historical and biblical compositions, the author tries to understand what makes the people represented in these paintings and graphic sheets so lively, full of inner energy, bursting everywhere - even in such a seemingly insignificant detail as the image of their noses. "Rembrandt's Nose" - a rare find: it is a sincere, trusting and unusually fascinating dialogue with the works, full of colorful historical details that allow us to get in touch with the thought and painting of the great artist who lived four centuries ago. The text is complemented by 49 illustrations and a detailed chronicle of Rembrandt's life and work.
