Young Rembrandt: A Biography

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

Like Rembrandt van Rijn, the prize-winning Dutch biographer Onno Blom was born and grew up in Leiden and his book focuses on Rembrandt’s early life in the city, from his birth in 1606 to his departure for Amsterdam in 1632. Illustrated with works by the artist – including many self-portraits – and his contemporaries, the book seeks the origins of Rembrandt’s genius and his inspirations in the places, people, industries and institutions of 17th-century Leiden.
