{"product_id":"rembrandt-basic-art","title":"Rembrandt - Basic Art","description":"Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669) never travelled outside his native Netherlands, yet he transformed the trajectory of Western art through a vast body of work comprising paintings, drawings, and etchings. His prolific artistic output encompasses religious, historical, and secular subjects, alongside one of the most extraordinary collections of portraits and self-portraits ever created.\n\nRembrandt’s creations place strong emphasis on texture, luminosity, and incisive observation. Resembling sudden, eerie apparitions emerging in a shadowy alley, his figures are illuminated against profound, dark backdrops and rendered with intense physical and psychological scrutiny. Whether portraying personalities from biblical texts and mythology, influential patrons, or everyday citizens, he endowed every subject not only with meticulously crafted facial traits, but also with an intriguing depth of inner thoughts and feelings. Consequently, even age-old tales such as the biblical account of David and Bathsheba attain an entirely fresh dimension of human drama. Furthermore, Rembrandt left behind one of the most comprehensive sequences of self-portraits ever produced by an artist, chronologically documenting his own visage from his early youth until the year of his death.\n\nThe rise of Rembrandt coincided with the emergence of the Dutch Golden Age, an era of great prosperity throughout the Netherlands. While backed by affluent patrons, he was primarily guided by a deep fascination with humanity. In this volume, we examine several of his essential paintings, etchings, and drawings to present Rembrandt’s methods, sources of inspiration, and remarkable achievements. Ranging from the Baroque piece Belshazzar’s Feast (Belşazzar'ın Ziyafeti) to the globally renowned Night Watch (Gece Devriyesi), we uncover a realm defined by deep, rich tones, masterly draftsmanship, and an exceptional sensitivity toward the human condition.\n\nAbout the Series: Established in 1985, the Basic Art Series has evolved into the best-selling art book collection ever published. Every volume in TASCHEN’s Basic Art series provides: a detailed chronological overview covering the artist's life and artistic output, addressing their cultural and historical importance; a concise biographical text; and approximately 100 illustrations accompanied by descriptive explanatory captions.","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55984680927554,"sku":"3390","price":1230.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0942\/5734\/8930\/files\/rembrandt-basic-art-sanat-taschen-michael-bockemuhl-14080-33-O.jpg?v=1787595560","url":"https:\/\/lumiefilm.com\/products\/rembrandt-basic-art","provider":"LUMIE FILM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
