He did more with mixed processes. especially drypoint and etching. than anyone before him. He was also among the first to use etching as a drawing medium. giving it a freedom it had never had before.One distinctive feature of this book is that each print is reproduced full size. That gives the viewer unique insight into each work - was it small enough to fit the hand. or so big it had to be worked on a bench or table? Just how fine was that texture of lines? Even the biggest prints are presented full size. in a set of oversized sheets that come with the book.Probably hundreds of authors have written about Rembrandts art. especially his drawing and etchings. I dont have much to add except what I personally have learned from his work. As well as light and dark. Rembrandt modulates a picture in levels of detail. Look at B76. for example. "Christ presented to the people." The central figures have expression and nuance. Outliers. like those towards lower left are barely sketched in. Its a fascinating way for the artist to guide the viewers attention.One author (I forget who) was asked to name the finest printmaker of all time. He started by eliminating Rembrandt. on the grounds that this master went so far past any mortal skill that he was outside of merely human history. This book shows just where that claim came from.//wiredweird1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Notebook of Rembrandts EtchingsBy John Davies (Dr)OK. this book may not reproduce the fineness of detail of Rembrandts etchings nor us his quality of paper. but this is a low cost production. It is a good reference book on his etchings but dont expect gallery reproduction quality. All the etchings are reproduced at the original size and so there are a number of large works printed separately. I you want to see high quality. then you will need to hunt down the original. For me. it is a handy reference.9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Caution: Actual Size means small.By buyerThe reproductions are printed on good paper. [presumably] actual size. and are detailed so the book delivers on its title. The user experience. however. is looking at very small. extremely fine-lined drawings of which portions are very difficult to discern at the given size and in all-black ink with no tonal gradations. The dark areas of the piece called the Three Trees cloud out beyond readability. This piece and 95% of other pieces in the book would have benefited from being printed with a carefully chosen sepia to enliven and clarify the work at this scale. Many users will consider using a magnifying glass with this book. Personally. I will be looking for a replacement publication that offers Rembrandts etchings enlarged for actual enjoyment of his compositions. Otherwise. I consider this best for the Rembrandt completist or the etching connoisseur. I would have liked to have seen a review like mine before purchasing.
