When I was visiting family in Amsterdam in the spring of 2006 it was the 400th anniversary of Rembrandt's birth. I went a lot of museums and saw a LOT of Rembrandt's. This exhibit was being held at the VGM and I went twice. Fast forward to a few days ago and the book sale at our small local library(Totman Library - Phippsburg, Maine). I helped set things up and skipped the first two days to give others a fair shot. I mean ... I already have a bazillion books. So I went in Monday and checked things out and found this. Who would not scoop this book up IMMEDIATELY???? I had to do it and I'm not sorry. I will pass it on when I'm done with it, if ever.

Mooie catalogus van een tentoonstelling uit 2006. Eerlijk gezegd interesseren de vergelijkingen mij minder. De reproducties zijn prachtig en soms en detail.Mijn persoonlijke conclusie: hoe mooi ik vele werken van Caravaggio ook vind, bijna altijd vind ik die van Rembrandt nog mooier.
