Rembrandt. The Complete Drawings and Etchings.

Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn (1606-1669) is considered one of the most important painters in Western art, but nowhere do we encounter his inimitable talent more than in his drawings and etchings. His drawings and etchings, based on experimentation and expressive line work, earned him unparalleled recognition from his contemporaries.

Any portrait or everyday scene is elevated by his masterful treatment of light, shadow and shading. Another world is accessible in Rembrandt's etchings, a world that resides in the elusiveness of moody midnight contemplation and dusky countryside, these elusive moments captured with each stroke on the page. Meanwhile, Rembrandt's drawings reveal his emotional state with a candor unseen in other works. Using pen and brush, silverpoint and charcoal, as well as colored chalk and ink, he drew on various types of paper that he sometimes also pre-painted.

Celebrating the 350th anniversary of the artist's death, this stunning XXL monograph is the first-ever collection of Rembrandt's complete works on paper. Through the 708 drawings, brilliantly printed in color for the first time, and 314 etchings in pristine reproductions, we discover Rembrandt's keen eye, skillful hand and boundless depth of feeling as never before; and above all, we witness that he was much more than just a painter.

In addition to Rembrandt's complete collection of drawings and etchings, there is also the coffee table book 'Rembrandt. The Complete Paintings' from Taschen containing all of his paintings.
