A painter during the Dutch Golden Age, Rembrandt could safely be called one of the greatest artists of all time. He was especially well known for his portraits (and did an extraordinary number of self-portraits), but he also did Bible and history scenes, and even an occasional landscape. A book this size cannot be an exhaustive look at an artist like Rembrandt, but it can serve to introduce him to adults and students of all ages. The book contains copies of more than four dozen of Rembrandt's paintings, including more than two dozen of his self-portraits. (Rembrandt often painted his Jewish neighbors, particularly in his Old Testament scenes.)
