Rembrandt

Rembrandt has been called one of the best painters of all time--and he lived more than 350 years ago! His work is still studied today. Rembrandt painted self-portraits, religious subjects, and portraits of others. Unlike many artists, he was successful during his life, accepting large commissions. But what made his work so special? This book sheds light on this very question for young readers. Including biography and discussion of technique, the main content gives a well-rounded look at both Rembrandt the man and Rembrandt the artists. The book concludes with an activity inviting readers to make their own Rembrandt-style work.
