Summary: "Rembrandt" by Estelle M. Hurll is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work serves as both an introduction and an interpretation of Rembrandt's art, focusing on a collection of fifteen of his most notable paintings and a portrait of the renowned artist himself. The book aims to familiarize readers with Rembrandt's mastery across various styles, including portraiture, Biblical illustration, and etching, showcasing his unique approach that emphasizes moral expression over physical beauty. The opening of the text outlines the author's purpose and methodology, detailing the selection of represented artworks and the challenges of reproducing Rembrandt’s use of chiaroscuro in black and white photography. It also addresses the perception of Rembrandt's work, potentially alienating to those unfamiliar with the prerequisites for appreciating fine art. The introduction explains that, unlike many other artists, Rembrandt found inspiration in the common lives and emotions of his subjects, making his art accessible and profound. This sets the stage for exploring the subsequent chapters, which delve into illustrations and interpretations of his major works. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
