Rembrandt: The Complete Paintings: 350 Years Anniversary Edition

Beautiful book. From the size, you will be overwhelmed XD

It has taken me ten years to get enough nerve to buy a book like this of Rembrandt’s. When I was in art school a guy I shared an art studio with had this book and would not return it to the library so I could check it out for myself. So I was always over on his side looking at it.When I look at a picture of a painting I want to see up close what the brushwork looks like and have it as reference when I don’t want to go a museum because of time or money. And when I’m at a museum I’m one of those annoying jerks who spends a LONG time looking at it to see how it’s made. So I bought this book for the detail plates, not the reading material. Sorry Historians.When it comes to biography or history, I’ll be honest: I listen to a lot of books when I’m in the studio. I’d do that if I wanted to know more about the artist because I can’t think of anything more frustrating than learning about an artist while not being in the act of making art. That being said all these books—especially for this price—should come standard with audible/etc narration. Imagine perusing these pictures when streaming the words too. That would be amazing. Half the time the words are referencing a picture not on the same page anyway.So, the close up plates are amazing—incredibly useful. And if you’re going to have any well made book it should be Rembrandt—if you like portraiture that is. HOWEVER…I did NOT pay the current asking price of $200. That’s insane.I think there should be a charity made up for any serious artist (new or old) who wants this book but can’t afford it because s/he will never make what his/her investors will off his/her art. It being on some historian’s shelf or unappreciative show-off’s coffee table is a travesty. It needs to be available for impoverished artists as well—beautifiers of this world, to keep in their studios with regrettable-but-inspired oil paint smudges on the pages they reference the most.But, if you buy this book and you make art, and you have any muse-worthy prowess at all at it, you won’t regret it.

This book is huge! This was a birthday gift and what a gift it is. I can barely lift it, it feels like leafing through a wizard tome. The pages a thick and heavy and the reproductions are absolutely beautiful, this book is obviously very lovingly put together. I plan to paint many masterstudies from this book, there's just so much material in here to unpack and explore.My only complaint is that I wish the images were even bigger, there is no need to have a 2-3 inch border around them :) There is also 72 blank pages, yes I actually sat there and counted them. Taschen, if you ever decide to re-release this book please consider adding even more closeups, ideally one per painting, please! I'd buy this again in a heartbeat.

Everyone overuses the word "amazing" so it has somewhat lost its true meaning; however, this book really is amazing. I own quite a number of Taschen XXL art books and this one was just published in 2019. I ordered it about six months ago and it arrived today. What a nice surprise. As with all Taschen books it is of superb quality. The photographs are impeccable and text is very well done. It is quality throughout.If you are an art lover, this is definitely one for your collection. If you know someone who is an art lover, this book would be a perfect gift. It is the type of book that you will enjoy for a lifetime, and one that will be passed down through the generations.

Love! I gifted this to my dad who is also an artist and loves Rembrandt's style and he loves it!!

The book is priceless!

An immersive experience! A huge and heavy bock, with many up-close (cropped) sections of his great works, along with the full views. The details about Rembrandt's life, and descriptions of his work are balanced perfectly. Very enjoyable!

Beautiful book. Pictures could not be better.

This is a stunning collection of all of Rembrandt's works(any maybe some forgeries)...This book is wonderful.

Das Buch ist von hoher Qualität.

Exelente o melhor de todos arte com muita qualidade.

Well, how can you not give it 5 stars? I was expecting something like the similar Taschen volume I have on Van Gogh, but this thing just dwarfs it. It is enormous and sumptuous. Be warned, it is massive, and immensely heavy. You cannot even think of picking it up with one hand. As a coffee table book, well it is bigger, heavier and to be fair probably more expensive than my coffee table. The text is great and the pictures are divine. What else can I say?

good quick deliverygreat book, must for rembrandt lovers
