Summary "Rembrandt" by Jozef Israëls is a biographical account written in the early 20th century that explores the life and artistry of the Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn. This book focuses on the development of Rembrandt as an artist, his influences, and the struggles he faced throughout his life. The author sheds light on Rembrandt's character, examining both his personal flaws and his extraordinary contributions to the art world. The book provides a detailed narrative of Rembrandt's life, beginning with his early years in Leyden and his journey through various artistic phases leading to his greatest masterpieces. Israëls highlights pivotal moments, such as Rembrandt’s marriage to Saskia, the impact of her death on his work, and his eventual decline in public favor despite his genius. Through vivid descriptions of his paintings, like "The Night Watch" and "The Syndics of the Cloth Merchants' Guild," the author encapsulates Rembrandt's innovative techniques and deep emotional resonance in his art, ultimately presenting him as a misunderstood yet revered figure in the landscape of art history.
