Rembrandt and the art of drawing

Marijn Schapelhouman
Rembrandt en de kunst van het tekenen
Zwolle (Waanders) 2010

In het prentenkabinet van het Rijksmuseum bevinden zich ongeveer zestig eigenhandige tekeningen van Rembrandt, variërend van een zelfportret, figuur- en genrestudies tot bijbelse scènes, landschappen, naakten en dieren. Hoewel Rembrandt vooral beroemd is als schilder blijkt uit zijn tekeningen dat hij ook de tekenkunst als geen ander beheerste. In dit dossier worden alle Rembrandttekeningen uit het Rijksmuseum in kleur afgebeeld en in een voor een breed publiek toegankelijke tekst beschreven.

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.
