The skilful lines of Rembrandt's etchings, which convey a sense of spontaneity, freedom and immediacy that was very unusual for his time, already surprised his contemporaries. His prints, which soon spread throughout Europe, were admired by artists, sought after by collectors and praised by historians, and their subsequent influence on the art of engraving was enormous. In addition to technical virtuosity, Rembrandt possessed extraordinary visual intelligence. He was an incomparable master in the art of composition and chiaroscuro effects, and at the same time a creator of images of great originality, expressive force and profound humanity. With his expert eye, Vicenç Furió invites the reader to be fascinated by the genius of an artist who has aroused universal admiration.
