Late Rembrandt by Jonathan Bikker, 1st Ed
Located in valatie, NY
Late Rembrandt by Jonathan Bikker. Published by Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, 2014. 1st English Ed with dust jacket. The city of Amsterdam celebrates its most famous artist with 40 paintings, 20 drawings and 30 prints. Late Rembrandt presents a comprehensive overview of the artist's work between approximately 1652 and his death in 1669.

Against the backdrop of tragic personal losses and ongoing financial difficulties, Rembrandt began experimenting with printing and painting techniques in the later years of his life, producing some of the most distinctive, innovative and daring works of his career. His global reputation was eventually shaped by the late masterworks such as Self-Portrait with Two Circles (Kenwood House, London), the Family Portrait (Herzog Anton Ulrich-museum, Braunschweig), Jacob Blessing the Sons of Joseph (Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister...
