Rembrandt possessed an exceptional natural talent and so had
no need of a teacher. This was how the art connoisseur
Constantijn Huygens described the twenty-three year old
painter following a visit to his studio in Leiden. This perception
of the artist persisted for centuries, although even contempo-
rary authors reported that Rembrandt had been the pupil of
Jacob Isaacsz. van Swanenburg and Pieter Lastman. Over the
past 120 years, the intensive efforts of scholars have brought to
light numerous facts about Rembrandt's beginnings and the
speed with which he mastered his art. Yet new mysteries are
continually surfacing. The exhibition The Mystery of the Young

addresses, for the first time, the early works of the greatest of
the Dutch masters, from his beginnings in 1624/25 to the
developments of the early 1630s. The catalogue is the most
comprehensive study of the subject to-date. The text, with its
many new interpretations and some exciting new attributions,
emphasises the stylistic and painterly versatility of the young
Rembrandt and his unceasing desire to experiment.
