"In this publication, we focus on Rembrandt's work as a portraitist, a genre in which the most important painter of the 17th-century Netherlands reached the pinnacle of his craft. Alongside some twenty of his portraits, we present outstanding examples by other artists active in Amsterdam during the Dutch Golden Age, totaling 80 paintings and 16 prints. When Rembrandt arrived in Amsterdam in the early 1630s, the city already boasted portrait painters such as Thomas de Keyser and Frans Hals—who lived in nearby Haarlem but had clients in the capital—responding to high market demand. Following him, others arrived, such as Bartholomeus van der Helst, drawn by the business opportunities. The exhibition held at the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum, curated by Norbert E. Middelkoop, curator at the Amsterdam Museum, and this accompanying publication, allow us to discover the variety and quality of these works and become familiar with the stories behind them." of the people portrayed: married couples, artisans at work, children, scholars, businessmen, the painters themselves, as well as prominent group portraits.
