Many compositional sketches show Rembrandt's distinctive method for training pupils and his own imagination. Genre and landscape drawings demonstrate how the pupils studied a range of specialist themes and techniques to achieve comprehensive mastery. Finished paintings, some still produced in Rembrandt's studio, reveal their instruction under Rembrandt but also their individual responses to his model. His instructions drew aspiring young painters, such as Nicolaes Maes, Willem Drost, Abraham van Dijck and Jacobus Leveck. They came for the second phase of their training, to become independent masters. They saw Rembrandt as a comprehensive teacher, and not only imitated his virtuoso brush work, but also followed his instruction in a wide range of subject matter, from historical narrative to landscape.

Seller's Description:
VG+ Color illustrated boards with white lettering, 127 pp, profusely illustrated in color and bw. "From 12 February to 17 May 2015 the Rembrandt House Museum is devoting an exhibition to the pupils Rembrandt trained during the last stage of his career, from around 1650 until his death in 1669. It is the first in a series of exhibitions centred on art education. The relationship between these pupils and their teacher will emerge from some ninety paintings, drawings and prints by Nicolaes Maes, Willem Drost, Abraham van Dijck, Jacobus Leveck, Heyman Dullaert, Arent de Gelder and others, seen alongside some of Rembrandt's works. The composition sketches on display are illustrative of Rembrandt's training. Rembrandt's Late Pupils: Studying under a Genius is the first in a series of exhibitions focusing on art education that the Rembrandt House Museum will be staging. Traditionally the artist's trade was passed on from master to pupil. This close relationship enabled art to flourish. Rembrandt's Late Pupils: Studying under a Genius runs in parallel with the Late Rembrandt exhibition in the Rijksmuseum and is the result of collaboration between the two museums"--Museum Rembrandt. Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same title in the Rembrandt House Museum, Amsterdam. Includes bibliographical references (pages 118-121) and index.
