| Summary |
"Rembrandt" by Kurt Pfister is a detailed art historical analysis written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the life and artistic development of the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, examining the evolution of his painting style and thematic choices throughout different stages of his life. The opening of this work provides an insight into the methodology and approach that the author intends to take. Pfister suggests that rather than simply cataloging biographical facts and artistic milestones, he aims to interpret the "gesture" of the artist's creative expression. He argues that this gesture encapsulates the essence of Rembrandt’s inner vision, which is manifested through color and form in his works. Pfister outlines the intent to explore Rembrandt’s portrayal of humanity through various genres, including portraits, landscapes, and religious scenes, emphasizing that the understanding of his art surpasses mere observational techniques and enters the realm of deeper emotional and psychological resonance.
