Impulse Rembrandt: Teacher, Strategist, Bestseller
Stefan Weppelmann and Jan Nicolaisen on behalf of the City of Leipzig
This magnificent volume examines not only the great master’s remarkable talent for the portrayal of emotions and passions, his sketch-like openness and focus on essentials, but also his ability to pass on the particular features of his painting style while at the same time encouraging the artistic individuality of his pupils. Some 120 paintings, drawings and etchings by Rembrandt and his pupils afford a fascinating insight into Dutch painting in the 17th century.
Artists include Rembrandt Harmensz. Van Rijn, Carel Fabritius, Ferdinand Bol, Abraham Van Dijck, Govert Flinck, Aert De Gelder, Jan Lievens, et al.
Jan Nicolaisen is the head of the Collection of Paintings and Sculpture at the Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig.
