In commencing an account of the life of Rembrandt Van Rhÿn and his works, I feel both a pleasure and a certain degree of confidence, as, from my first using a pencil, his pictures have been my delight and gratification, which have continued to increase through a long life of investigation. Though I cannot expect to enhance the high estimation in which Rembrandt is held by all persons competent to appreciate his extraordinary powers, nevertheless, the publication of the results of my study may tend to spread a knowledge of his principles and practice, which may be advantageous to similar branches in other schools; for, notwithstanding that his style is in the greatest degree original and peculiar to himself, yet it is founded upon those effects existing in nature which are to be discovered, more or less, in the works of all the great masters of colouring and chiaro-scuro.

His expertise in the works of Rembrandt is well captured in his acclaimed book 'Rembrandt and His Works', wherein he meticulously analyzes the techniques, stylistic evolution, and the historical context that surround the masterpieces of this renowned Dutch painter. Burnet's scholarly approach delves into the elements that render Rembrandt's works timeless, exploring the interplay of light and shadow, the emotional depth, and the realism that the artist famously embodied. As an author, Burnet contributed significantly to the study of art with his analytical and insightful perspectives, making his work essential reading for historians and enthusiasts alike. His literary style is marked by precision and an evident passion for art, encapsulated by erudite prose that brings the works of Rembrandt to life for his readers.

Unfortunately, biographical details of John Burnet are limited; one must often look to his scholarly work to glean a sense of the author himself.
