Images and Metaphors
By Christian Tümpel
Rembrandt used the achievements of his teachers, predecessors andcontemporaries to develop and realise his own artistic aims andabilities, and it was to these too that he owed his basic artisticimpulses. His urge to achieve unmistakable originality led him tooverturn aesthetic and thematic conventions; he expanded technique andexperimented with the use of colour and forms of etching. Although theart of the past always served him as a starting point, he sought tosurpass it by staging works that were both unexpectedly daring andapposite to their subject.
‘Well worth reading’ -The Spectator
‘An impressive accomplishment *****’
- Art Times
'...Dr. Tümpel is unrivalled among modern writers on the artist.’ -Christopher Brown, Director of the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford
