A survey of the life and times of Rembrandt van Rijn, one of the most famous and well-loved artists. From his precocious early work in his native Leyden to his emotional late work and his immense artistic influence, Rembrandt's life is traced within the context of the Netherlands in the 17th century, the highly literate and cosmopolitan environment of Amsterdam and Rembrandt's wealthy and influential patrons.

This beautiful book takes the reader on a journey through Canaletto’s native Venice. Through a spectacular group of Canaletto’s masterpieces in the National Gallery collection and other works relating to them, the book explores the artist’s painting technique and his treatment of the topography of the city. Although Canaletto was considered an objective chronicler, the authors show that his painted views are not simply dispassionate records of buildings and scenes but altered and manipulated depictions that emphasize specific aspects or moods of the city.

It is not always obvious from looking at pictures what kinds of materials may be used by an artist to make colour. Through a selection of superb pictures from the National Gallery, London, this Pocket Guide explains how colored pigments are combined with a medium to form a paint layer, and how this affects our perception of colour.
