The books in this series are the best books I've seen to introduce children to great artists. "Getting to Know Great Artists" books bring to life the person behind the painting with fun cartoons about his life. Why did Rembrandt start painting? What's so great about his paintings? This book makes kids care about the man and his art. Your kids will wind up knowing more about Rembrandt than ...             Rembrandt's Jews6 reviews Steven Nadler University Of Chicago Press, 2003 Readable and Entertaining History Part Art History, part Jewish history, and with beautiful illustrations, this book tells the story of the Jews who were expelled from the Catholic countries of Southern Europe, and how they were fortunate to find a home in Holland for the 400 years up until the Nazis. Rembrandt did quite a few Old Testament paintings and had Jewish neighbors and patrons, thus the connection. This is more a Jewish ...             Rembrandt A&I (Art and Ideas)1 review Mariet Westermann Phaidon Press, 2000 Understanding Rembrandt. In her book Mariet Westerman guides us through the life and works of Rembrandt - from his earliest self-portraits to the introspective works of his later days. And she does so with empathy and a deep understanding of both the artist's character and the artistic, economic and social environment which he was a part of. Westerman writes in a matter-of-fact way without being superficial. Thus the ...             The Rembrandt Book4 reviews Gary Schwartz "Harry N. Abrams, Inc.", 2006 A book worthy of the artist! This is a very beautifully produced book. There are a profusion of images through out with a very broad representation of paintings, etchings and drawings. The text is excellent as Schwartz has a lot of information but never loses the flow. Many of the images were a bit on the smallish size, but considering the scope of the book, that is easily overlooked. I look forward to the day when a book of ...             Rembrandt and the Golden Age of Dutch Art: Treasures from the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam Portland Art Museum, Oregon, 2007 Rembrandt and the Golden Age of Dutch Art celebrates an unprecedented era in the history of art. Drawn from the superb collections of Amsterdam's famed Rijksmuseum, the works of art featured here are a testament to the richness and variety of the paintings, prints, and decorative arts produced in the Netherlands in the 17th century. In a unique approach, Ruud Priem leads the viewer through the highlights of the Golden Age, beginning with the ...             Rembrandt: The Painter at Work13 reviews Ernst van de Wetering Amsterdam University Press, 2002 Absolutely Essential There isn't much more I can say, which hasn't already been said to reveal the great merits of this book. However I think the sheer quantity of 5 star ratings speaks volumes. This book is essential for any academic or personal study of Rembrandt, especially so for a painter as I am. On top of all the incredible detailed scientific analysis, the text is written very clearly and is even a pleasure ...             Rembrandts in the Attic: Unlocking the Hidden Value of Patents9 reviews Kevin G. Rivette, David Kline Harvard Business School Press, 1999 Patents in the light of the e-commerce revolution A patent gives its owner the right to prevent anyone else from using the invention that is protected by the patent. In a society where new technology plays an increasingly important role, the individual or corporation may find that owning a few patents, or better yet a large portfolio of patents, may be the key to success. This is independant of whether the patent holder practices the ...             Rembrandt's Ghost7 reviews Paul Christopher Signet, 2007 Rembrandt's Ghost (Christopher) I enjoyed this novel, but found the action a bit slower than Christopher's other works. If I hadn't read Michelangelo's Notebook, I do not know if the character development would have been compelling enough for me to rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. The author does a great job describing settings and historical information, but the secondary characters are not very well fleshed out. I enjoyed ...             Rembrandt Drawings: 116 Masterpieces in Original Color1 review Rembrandt Dover Publications, 2007 Finally, In Color Rembrandt's drawings, though monochromatic, deserve to be in color. The variations in his pen lines and washes are part of their greatness, and I've waited for decades to see a book like this. I'm surprised it's in hardcover (I have about a thousand Dover books, all paperbacks) so it costs a few extra dollars, and it's no surprise that at least most of the reproductions are generations removed ...             The Complete Etchings of Rembrandt: Reproduced in Original Size3 reviews Rembrandt, Gary D.(Editor) Schwartz Dover Publications, 1994 Superb publication Although budget-priced, this edition is a winner, in my opinion. All of Rembrandt's etchings are reproduced on a heavy-stock paper that is of the proper degree of shine necessary to bring out the full, crisp nuances of the etchings. The result are vividly life-like etchings that show all their intricate details. Faces and people come alive, almost jumping out of the page. The Dover people ...             Rembrandt's Eyes21 reviews Simon Schama Knopf, 1999 Returning to Rembrandt's Eyes: An Appreciation One of the pleasures of reading books from your own library is that they are always there for return visits. Reading Hockney's 'Secret Knowledge: Rediscovering the Lost Techniques of the Old Masters' stimulated this reader to probe more deeply into some of the venerated painters. Simon Schama's fine book REMBRANDT'S EYES is like an old friend, an excellent resource book for facts about ...             Rembrandt (Masterpieces: Artists and Their Works) Xavier Niz Capstone Press, 2003 From Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa to Van Gogh's Sunflowers, budding artist will step inside the studio and discover some of the world's greatest artwork. Readers will learn about the famous artist, their influences, and why their pieces are still imporant today.             Rembrandt's Enterprise: The Studio and the Market1 review Svetlana Alpers University Of Chicago Press, 1995 A real answer for a false problem.. Are you tired of the fuss about real or false Rembrandts? Then read prof. Svetlana book. First of all, Rembrandt was allways interested in such confusion and gladly endorsed it. If he could get a fee for all false stuff under his name or painted by his pupils, that would be fine. So, dont worry, in the end, all the Rembrandts in one way or another are authentic...             I Am Rembrandt's Daughter6 reviews Lynn Cullen Bloomsbury USA Children's Books, 2007 I Am Rembrandt's Daughter Taking us back to the 1600's, this book does a great job letting us know what it was like to be just an average girl. The description of Cornelia's troubles and triumphs was just perfect, and best of all the story as a whole was believeable. While the ending may have been happy, I was beyond pleased that it wasn't the cliche, happy-go-lucky ending that I'd been expecting. This book kept me ...             Every Frame a Rembrandt: Art and Practice of Cinematography5 reviews Andrew Quicke Focal Press, 2000 One of the 'Great Books' in the Industry. I first met Andy Laszlo some eight or ten years ago when he gave a two day seminar on Cinematography at NYU while I was director of the Department of Film, Video and Broadcasting at NYU's School of Continuing Education. One or two hundred students enrolled the first day, and as word spread across the campus of Andy's insights and trenchant comments, the attendance doubled on day two. When I ...             Drawn to the Light: Poems on Rembrandt's Religious Paintings4 reviews Marilyn Chandler McEntyre Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2003 Something divine Marilyn Chandler McEntyre, professor of English, is an accomplished poet, with grace and sensitivity that crosses artistic media and achieves great expression in volumes such as 'Drawn By the Light: Poems on Rembrandt's Religious Paintings.' The layout and print quality of this text is remarkable. The colours leap from the page, even given the relatively muted tones and darker tones Rembrandt ...             The Jewish Rembrandt: The Myth Unravelled Mirjam Alexander Waanders Publishers, 2008 Investigates Rembrandt's connection with Judaism.             Rembrandt and the Female Nude Eric Jan Sluijter Amsterdam University Press, 2007 Rembrandt’s extraordinary paintings of female nudes— Andromeda, Susanna , Diana and her Nymphs , Danaë, Bathsheba —as well as his etchings of nude women, have fascinated many generations of art lovers and art historians. But they also elicited vehement criticism when first shown, described as against-the-grain, anticlassical—even ugly and unpleasant. However, Rembrandt chose conventional subjects, kept close to ...             Rembrandt, 1606-1669: The Mystery of the Revealed Form (Basic Art) Michael Bockemuhl Taschen, 2000              search for books 1606-1669, amsterdam, artists, cinematography, complete, daughter, drawings, enterprise, etchings, getting, golden, greatest, market, masterpieces, mystery, original, painter, paintings, patents, practice, religious, rembrandt, rembrandts, reproduced, revealed, rijksmuseum, studio, treasures, unlocking, unravelled books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
