Great Masters in Painting: Rembrandt van Rijn Part 1

Great Masters in Painting: Rembrandt van Rijn.

by Malcolm Bell.

PREFACE

In order to reduce the volume on Rembrandt, published in 1899, to the smaller dimensions demanded by the "Great Masters" series, it became necessary to dispense with some of the material included in it. This, it is hoped, has been done without seriously affecting the usefulness of the book. The story of the painter's life and work has been to some extent compressed, but everything essential has, it is believed, been retained. The chief omissions are the short descriptions of the pictures and the lists of the etchings, which, while occupying much s.p.a.ce, were thought to be more suitable to a work of reference than to a handbook.

The student who desires fuller information on these points will find it in the earlier volume.
