The Real Rembrandt

Scientific methods of verifying works of art have drastically reduced the number of paintings attributed to Rembrandt. Many canvases, hitherto believed to be by the hand of the Master, are now thought to be the work of artists who learnt their craft in his studio by copying his style.

This is a fascinating study of modern means of authentication, a comprehensive art historical view of Rembrandt's work over the centuries and a reaffirmation of his genius.
