“Rembrandt was, above all, a painter and etcher of scenes from the Old and New Testaments and it is in the description of his interpretations of these texts that Dr Tümpel is unrivalled among modern writers on the artist. . . . The product of long and mature reflection on the art of Rembrandt and, in particular, on his religious art.”—The Art NewspaperThis large art monograph of Rembrandt is written by Christian Tümpel, a renowned expert on the subject, who was a Fellow at the Warburg Institute in London (1968-1969) and was subsequently invited to succeed Julius Held as chair of Northern European Art at Columbia University in New York the following year.
