Born in Leyden in 1606, the son of a
miller, Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn
is today considered to be the greatest
painter to have emerged from the Dutch
school of painting which flourished from
about 1580 to 1700.
Rembrandt's name is synonymous with
the highest achievements in art. His mas-
tery was not confined to painting, for
his genius was as brilliantly expressed in
drawing and in etching. His greatness
lies in his sympathy and his understand-

Forty-eight of Rembrandt's paintings
from collections throughout Europe are
here reproduced in full colour. They are
representative of the many and varied
aspects of the work of this great master:
self portraits, portraits of men, women
and children, group commissions such
as The Night Watch,...
