About this listen

Dutch painter and printmaker Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn is considered one of the greatest artists of all time. As a painter, he never considered glamorizing what he saw, and he was a master of creating extraordinary scenes with light and shadows. His paintings were unique for their ability to depict action and moods. Sadly, having a mistress and spending recklessly went far to ruin his reputation during his lifetime. Rembrandt died penniless and was buried in a pauper’s grave.

This audiobook is a good overview of Rembrandt and his biography. It includes discussions of his most important paintings, central themes of his oeuvre, and a little social history on the Dutch Golden Age -- all in an hour! I used the material to start prepping for an art history lecture on Rembrandt. Very useful for the broad picture.
