Slive’s new study of Rembrandt’s drawings

Seymour Slive
The Drawings of Rembrandt. A New Study
London (Thames & Hudson) 2009

More than 150 drawings – mostly illustrated in colour – made during every phase of his activity, are divided by subject into sixteen chapters: Self-portraits; Religious Subjects; Landscapes and so forth. Rembrandt himself kept many of his own drawings of different subjects in separate portfolios and books, so grouping his drawings by subject clarifies Rembrandt’s astonishing range as a draughtsman.
