Reviews

[Diane · Rating 4 out of 5]

At under 200 pages with illustrations on most pages, this brief biography from the New Horizons series of Thames & Hudson is a terrific overview of the artist’s somewhat sad life, and extraordinary work.

[Ali Miremadi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good short biography with a satisfyingly large number of reproductions which work despite the small scale.

[Rosemary Jones · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well illustrated biography of Rembrandt.

[Krystl Louwagie · Rating 3 out of 5]

I don't feel like there's a whole lot to say about this book-not fiction, and translated I believe, so. It was organized and easy to read-as far as history of an artist goes, it was a quick and easy read, but not wonderfully compelling or in depth. But it was what I'd expected it to be.

[Rebecca · Rating 5 out of 5]

A really enjoyable biography on one of the great Dutch Masters.
