Issued in conjunction with a 2015 exhibition. "Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) manipulated his copperplates in unprecedented ways to achieve printed images that were often in flux. That many of the various results were circulated as finished works in their own right marked a new moment in the appreciation of printmaking and the collecting of prints in the seventeenth century. [This book] highlights some of the most intriguing and extraordinary of Rembrandt's printed images, and compares impressions from major collection in the United States, to examine their ranger, power, and nuance." (back cover) With an introductory essay by Robert Fucci. The annotated and illustrated catalogue addresses18 specific pieces. Includes a chronology and bibliography.
