Rembrandt Bible Drawings: 60 Works

Rembrandt Bible Drawings: 60 Works by Rembrandt Van Rijn. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780486238784.

Rear cover notes: "Rembrandt as draftsman beggars description, yet he is the most accessible of the great artists. In fecundity and energy of eye and line one calls Leonardo, Durer, Picasso his peers; in imaginative insight on religious man he surely stands alone. The proof of this claim rests in his Biblical drawings. Rembrandts personal interpretation of his favorite scenes and themes from the Bible form the largest single category among his 1400 extant sketches. This volume displays, in sharp, quality reproduction, 60 authentic designs chosen from the great facsimile publications of the drawings. The arrangement is by chronology within the Bible."
