Description - Rembrandt's Light by Jennifer Scott
Rembrandt’s Light brings together paintings, prints and drawings that focus on Rembrandt’s mastery of visual storytelling through light, concentrating on the period from 1639-1658, when he lived in his `dream house’ on the Breestraat in the heart of Amsterdam (today the Museum Het Rembrandthuis). The rooms on the first floor of the house, with their large windows and exceptional quality of light, offered new possibilities for the creation of art works, witnessed in drawings like `The Artist’s Studio’.
Arranged thematically the book will trace Rembrandt’s innovation: from evoking a meditative mood, to lighting people, to creating impact and drama. Highlights include `The Denial of St Peter’ and three of the artist’s most famous images of women: `A Woman Bathing in a Stream’, `A Woman in Bed’ and the inimitable `Girl at a Window’.
Published to coincide with an exhibition at Dulwich Picture Gallery, and the celebrations taking place throughout Europe to mark 350 years since the artist’s death (1669), Rembrandt’s Light aims to refresh the way we look at works by this incomparable Dutch Master.
