Produktbeschreibung

Rembrandt (Illustrated) contains the full original 1961 text plus: .10 illustrations by Rembrandt keyed into the text .A new introduction by author Tom Graves In 1961 Random House publishers released a blockbuster book, an epic-length novel of the life of one of history's greatest painters, Rembrandt. The author was Gladys Schmitt, who established herself as a master of the historical novel in 1946 with the Number One bestseller David the King about the life of the biblical King David. Her novel Rembrandt likewise scaled the charts and won admiration from a wide variety of the critics who noted the deep research done for the book. The novel begins with the mercurial teenage Rembrandt who was apprenticing with the art master Jacob Isaacszoon van Swanenburg. At just 17 years old the young Rembrandt already possessed the skills of a master painter and had ideas of his own that were at variance with Master van Swanenburg. Rembrandt, The Epic Novel, takes the reader on an intimate journey where we get an up-close and interior look at the great painter, feeling his pains and sadnesses as well as his joys and triumphs. We gain complete historical understanding of Rembrandt's major works. In the course of this beautifully written epic we get to know Rembrandt's wives, his masters, his family members, his champions, his enemies, his apprentices, and those with whom he came into important contact. The book contains 10 Rembrandt works that coincide with the narrative so the reader can at once get the best understanding of Rembrandt as he created those works. Glady Schmitt is a name now largely forgotten in the sweeping arc of great literature. Devault Graves Books is proud to bring back this masterpiece from the near past for future generations to enjoy in the digital ebook format.
