Full Description
Always recognised as a master print from the moment of its appearance around 1649, the Hundred Guilder Print is one of Rembrandt's most compositionally complex and visually beautiful works.
This book gives a full overview of the fascinating story surrounding this print, from its genesis and market value to
attitudes towards it in the present day. Focusing on the tradition of printmaking as well as the reception of the
print in Rembrandt's time, Golahny explores the ways the artist made visual references to the work of such masters
as Michelangelo, Raphael and Leonardo da Vinci, while uniquely combining aspects of Christ's ministry.
Placing the work within its wider cultural and historical context, Rembrandt's Hundred Guilder Print
offers an original and engaging approach to current Rembrandt scholarship and is essential reading for anyone
interested in the work of one of the most famous artists of the Dutch Global Age.
