"This survey of Rembrandt's extraordinary achievement as a draftsman filles a gap in the otherwise enormous literature on Rembrandt. More than 150 drawings -- mostly illustrated in color -- made during every phase of his activity, are divided by subject into sixteen chapters: self=portraits, the life of women and children, religious subjects, landscapes, animals, nudes, and so forth. Rembrandt himself set the precedent for such a thematic arrangement. An exhaustive inventory that was made of the mature artist's effects tells us he kept many of his own drawings of different subjects in separate portfolios and books. Grouping his drawings by subject clarifies Rembrandt's astonishing range as a draftsman." (dj) Nice!
