        This book marks the 400th anniversary of Rembrandt's birth in 1606.

Based on detailed examination of paintings in the National Gallery, it catalogues 21 paintings attributed to Rembrandt plus six once assigned to him but now considered to be by other hands.

Generously illustrated, it provides essential information on the artist's technique, materials and working methods, addressing questions of attribution and other significant developments in Rembrandt scholarship over the last 20 years.

Essays cover the artist's studio, working methods, materials and technique, and the training of painters in seventeenth-century Holland.

The comprehensive bibliography provides information about the practice of oil painting, not only for Rembrandt but for seventeenth-century Dutch painting in general.
