Rembrandt: Slika iz doba Rembranta van Rijna (Ilustrirano izdanje)

Hendrik Willem Van Loon

A fictionalized biography of the famous Dutch painter Rembrandt van Rijn. The author uses the fictional character of Dr. Joannis van Loon, Rembrandt's alleged friend and personal physician, to tell the artist's life story through his "diaries."

Van Loon's narrative technique provides an intimate insight into Rembrandt's thoughts, feelings, and daily struggles, creating the impression of an authentic testimony.

The author does not focus exclusively on Rembrandt's artistic work, but describes in detail his family and material circumstances, as well as the social challenges he faced. Rembrandt was often misunderstood by his contemporaries, and his refusal to conform to the artistic norms of the time led to financial difficulties and social isolation. Despite this, he remained faithful to his artistic expression, which the author shows through numerous quotes and introspective notes.

The book also highlights Rembrandt's personality as a combination of elegance and rudeness, pride and naivety. His inability to manage his finances, despite his great talent, made his life even more difficult. Van Loon's approach provides the reader with not only biographical information, but also a deep understanding of the artist's inner struggle and passion for art.
