Rembrandt by Himself

Christopher White

Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) made hundreds of paintings, etchings and drawings, covering a broad range of subject matter. The proportion of these images which can be classified as self portraits is exceptional. All the surviving examples, many of which have long been among the most celebrated images in Western Art, are described and illustrated here, together with copies after lost pieces. The development of Rembrandt's style from his youth in Leiden to the last year's in Amsterdam, and the gradual ageing of his features over the years are both vividly revealed here.

This publication, which accompanies the first exhibition ever devoted to his self portraits, establishes a new framework for the interpretation of these compelling works. In the essays written by many leading Rembrandt scholars these works are placed in the wider context of the tradition of painting and collecting self portraits. Also included is a revealing selection of works by such pupils of Rembrandt as Gerrit Dou and Samuel van Hoogstraten.
