This study presents the complete works of the great Dutch painter, Johannes
Vermeer. The text includes a short essay and commentaries on each of the
paintings, and incorporates new research on Vermeer's life and extraordinary
artistic achievements.
The late 1650s and early 1660s saw Rembrandt create a remarkable series of half-length portraits of religious figures, reflecting his personal struggles and deep faith during a challenging period. This catalog accompanies an exhibition featuring seventeen of these evocative works, which have never been shown together before. Scholars explore the identities of the depicted figures, including apostles and saints, while addressing questions of attribution and the connections among the paintings. Lavishly illustrated, this volume enhances the understanding of Rembrandt's profound artistic contributions.
