This publication will accompany the eponymous exhibition project (in partnership with Wallraf-Richartz Museum, Cologne), whose central theme is the painting Scholar in his Study, housed in NGP’s collections. The representative catalogue focuses on the themes of learning and scholarship, contemplation and intimacy from several different viewpoints beginning with the artist’s early career and works in the context of the themes, followed by his growing popularity in Amsterdam, to relevant works of his students and modern interpretations of Rembrandt’s oeuvre. The article on the technological examination of Rembrandt’s key works offers a deep insight into the core of his art.
