About this book
Rembrandt gathers a collection of fifteen pictures and a portrait of the painter, with introduction and interpretation by Estelle M. Hurll. The text says that Rembrandt draws his material from the common world about us, and that in place of the fair women and charming children with whom Raphael delights us, he chooses his models from wrinkled old men and beggars.
One scene puts the viewer among the worshippers in the temple, looking at Mary and Joseph and Simeon, kneeling before a priest, with two or three onlookers. A Gothic cathedral is described with, at the right, a long flight of steps leading to a throne, which is overshadowed by a huge canopy. The book says there are a great many portraits of Rembrandt etched and painted by himself, and that one sitter was always at hand, and ready to do his bidding.
