Today we show you a fabulous book about Rembrandt van Rijn, one of the most famous Dutch painters (1606/1607 - 1669). His approximately 300 paintings, 300 etchings and more than two thousand drawings are highly valued worldwide. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam has the largest collection of Rembrandt paintings in the world. There you can see his work in real life, such as the Night Watch, The Jewish Bride and Marten & Oopje, all three masterpieces in their collection.
Or visit the Rembrandt House Museum, in the house where Rembrandt van Rijn made his home, lived and worked, at the Jodenbreestraat number 4, in the heart of Amsterdam. There you can admire with your own eyes, in addition to drawings and etchings, the painting of his son Titus at the Lezenaar (our favorite). In our book of today you will come across many of his works.
