Exhibition Catalogue
Rembrandt – Hoogstraten

This lavishly illustrated volume explores Rembrandt’s work and artistic personality from the perspective of his exceptionally innovative pupil Samuel van Hoogstraten. Van Hoogstraten’s multi-faceted oeuvre clearly betrays the influence of his teacher Rembrandt, in turn Rembrandt was stimulated by the creative impulses he received from the younger colleague. The book highlights two essential aspects of the two artists’ oeuvres: colour and illusion.
