Rembrandt's Universe' is a definitive text - on Rembrandt, and on art. It is a book packed with information about the painter and interpretations of his work in a highly enjoyable treatment of scholarship to date. At the same time, the book addresses Rembrandt’s personal relationships; his finances; his artistic influences; his choice of subject matter; his techniques. Celebrated in his own time as well as the present, Rembrandt's output was prodigious, totalling around 600 paintings, 300 etchings and 2,000 drawings ranging from commissioned portraits to landscapes to religious allegories.
