Etching Prints. By Rembrandt. From the Modern Masters of Etchings No. 20. The Studio. London, 1929.

Rembrandt was a Dutch Golden Age painter and printmaker–arguably the most famous artist of his era. He ranks among the greatest artists of all time. While most people will recognize his dramatic portraits with their iconic dark backgrounds, Rembrandt’s etchings deserve equal acclaim. He produced hundreds in his lifetime, printing them on a press of his own. Like his paintings, they engage with contrasts in light and dark. They include portraits and human scenes. They demonstrate a true mastery of the form. In this set of prints, Rembrandt’s etchings are reproduced for subscribers of the Modern Masters of Etching series. The series was published in the 1920s and 30s. Each plate is tipped onto its original page. They are sold here as individual prints ready to be displayed. The available prints are:
