This important work treats the familiar subject of Rembrandt from a new point of view. Sir Kenneth Clark has brought his knowledge of the Italian Renaissance to bear on his study of Rembrandt's style and sources, and has demonstrated the extent to which Rembrandt was influenced by the great Italians of the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Not only did Rembrandt borrow motives and pictorial ideas from artists of that period, but his whole style derived from them an increased range and depth.
