More than any other artist, the painter Rembrandt developed a charisma through the outstanding quality and originality of his works and through the organisation of his workshop. His pupils and successors continued his style as the Rembrandt “brand” with an appeal which has remained unbroken to this day. We ask: Why did Rembrandt’s art affect contemporary painters as well as continuing to attract generations of collectors and present-day viewers?

This magnificent volume examines not only the great master’s remarkable talent for the portrayal of emotions and passions, his sketch-like openness and focus on essentials, but also his ability to pass on the particular features of his painting style while at the same time encouraging the artistic individuality of his pupils. Some 120 paintings, drawings and etchings by Rembrandt and his pupils afford a fascinating insight into Dutch painting in the 17th century.

Artists include Rembrandt Harmensz. Van Rijn, Carel Fabritius, Ferdinand Bol, Abraham Van Dijck, Govert Flinck, Aert De Gelder, Jan Lievens, et al.
