Rembrandt (Art Profiles for Kids) (Art Profiles for Kids)

By Roberts, Russell D.

Publishers Summary:
Rembrandt. The very name of this legendary artist has come to signify excellence. Calling something is a Rembrandt means that it is a masterpiece the ultimate that can be achieved. But what about the man himself? Learn his unfortunate story how he gained overwhelming commercial acceptance at an early age, only to have it slip away and never return. (Ironically, artworks of his that are now considered masterpieces were first met with indifference.) His personal life was tragic: his wife died at an early age, and nearly all of his children died in infancy. In his desperate later years, he was hounded by financial problems. Yet, despite all his troubles, the flame of genius never died inside him. Rembrandt, master of light, continued to be a master artist.
