Inside Rembrandt’s painting practice

Ernst Van de Wetering examines how Rembrandt’s pictorial intentions relate to the materials and techniques behind his paintings. Framed as an “archaeology” of the works, the book uses close attention to their making to illuminate the artist’s daily practice and artistic considerations. Its subject is both technical and interpretive: how varied means of applying paint contributed to the effects Rembrandt sought, and what the paintings can reveal about the process behind them. This revised edition includes an updated text and a new foreword by the author.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Rembrandt and the study of individual artists.
  • Readers seeking an in-depth account of painting materials, technique, and artistic practice.
  • Art students or enthusiasts curious about how paintings can be examined through their making.

Book overview

Rembrandt's intriguing painting technique stirred the imaginations of art lovers during his lifetime and has done so ever since. In this book, now revised, updated, and with a new foreword by the author, Rembrandt's pictorial intentions and the variety of materials and techniques he applied to create his fascinating effects are unraveled in depth. At the same time, this "archaeology" of Rembrandt's paintings yields information on many other levels and offers a view of Rembrandt's daily practice and artistic considerations while simultaneously providing a more dimensional image of the artist.
