| Summary |
Rembrandt's greatness lies in his highly individual style and his consummate skill in portraying character. The style of his drawings, etchings and paintings evolved constantly throughout his active life as an artist, from 1625 to 1669, which explains the marked differences between works produced in successive periods of his career. The Louvre's collection certainly reflects the great diversity of his graphic art but it also brings out constants in his drawings and incidentally in his paintings and etchings, notably his immense power of evocation combined with a judicious selection of what truly characterized the subject and a striking and acute rendering of human feelings, even in the smallest formats |
