Book excerpt: When art dealer Jan Six saw the 'Portrait of a Young Gentleman' in a Christie?s auction catalogue, he instantly knew that it could not possibly be a work that had been attributed to ?the circle of Rembrandt?, but that the master must have painted it himself. The last time a hitherto unknown painting by Rembrandt was discovered was in 1974, when 'The Baptism of the Eunuch' came to light. But how does one convince the world of such a discovery? Does something like an absolute eye exist? And how special is such a painting in comparison to all the other known works by the most famous Dutch painter? In this book Jan Six takes the reader on a compelling and erudite journey, all about his exciting discovery and a boy?s dream come true, showing the 'Portrait of a Young Gentleman' through the eyes of his discoverer. 0Jan Six (1978) studied art history and worked at Sotheby?s London and in Amsterdam as head of the Old Master Paintings department. Since 2008 he operates as an art dealer and runs his own gallery, specialised in Dutch and Flemish Old Master Paintings and Drawings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A captivating exploration of the little-known story of Rembrandt’s formative years by a prize-winning biographer. Rembrandt van Rijn’s early years are as famously shrouded in mystery as Shakespeare’s, and his life has always been an enigma. How did a miller’s son from a provincial Dutch town become the greatest artist of his age? How in short, did Rembrandt become Rembrandt? Seeking the roots of Rembrandt’s genius, the celebrated Dutch writer Onno Blom immersed himself in Leiden, the city in which Rembrandt was born in 1606 and where he spent his first twenty-five years. It was a turbulent time, the city having only recently rebelled against the Spanish. There are almost no written records by or about Rembrandt, so Blom tracked down old maps, sought out the Rembrandt family house and mill, and walked the route that Rembrandt would have taken to school. Leiden was a bustling center of intellectual life, and Blom, a native of Leiden himself, brings to life all the places Rembrandt would have known: the university, library, botanical garden, and anatomy theater. He investigated the concerns and tensions of the era: burial rites for plague victims, the renovation of the city in the wake of the Spanish siege, the influx of immigrants to work the cloth trade. And he examined the origins and influences that led to the famous and beloved paintings that marked the beginning of Rembrandt’s celebrated career as the paramount painter of the Dutch Golden Age. Young Rembrandt is a fascinating portrait of the artist and the world that made him. Evocatively told and beautifully illustrated with more than 100 color images, it is a superb biography that captures Rembrandt for a new generation.

Book excerpt: "In 1634 the up-and-coming painting talent Rembrandt van Rijn wed the love of this life in Friesland: Saskia Uylenburgh, the daughter of a councillor at the Court of Friesland. The story of their marriage is also that of seventeenth-century marriages in general, from courtship to drawing up a will. How did such a stylish wedding come about, and how did life proceed afterwards, when love and suffering were shared? Using evocative paintings, etchings, documents and precious wedding gifts, this book shows us the world of Friesland's most famous bride and groom ever--and that marriage vows back then actually appear to differ little from those of today."--from back cover

In 2019, the museum honours Rembrandt with the exhibition 'Alle Rembrandts'.

Book excerpt: With her mother dead of the plague, and her beloved brother newly married, Cornelia must manage her father's household, though he teeters on the brink of madness.

Yet there are two young men who seem unfazed by the slander- and very much intrigued by Cornelia. Set within the vibrant community of the 17th century Dutch Masters, I Am Rembrandt's Daughter is a moving coming of age story filled with family drama and a love triangle that would make Jane Austen proud.

Book excerpt: Irrational Marks: Bacon and Rembrandt is Ordovas' inaugural exhibition and the first to be devoted to exploring the connections and influences of Rembrandt's late self-portraits on Francis Bacon's own self-portraits. Bacon considered Rembrandt's self-portraits the artist's greatest works. He spoke in depth about Rembrandt's Self-Portrait with Beret in the Musee Granet in Aix-en-Provence, which he often visited, yet his creative dialogue with Rembrandt's art has been, until now, largely overlooked."
