Rembrandt took an unusual and dramatic approach to biblical subjects, exploring the nature of divine encounter and the complexities of its representation, making use of the viewer's knowledge of the subject whilst finding ways to bring the familiar to life. Discussions about what we see as opposed to what we know were prevalent in the religious, artistic, scientific, and philosophical thinking of the period. It was left to artists to portray divine encounter in pictorial form. This new, scholarly volume brings together 10 works by Rembrandt which portray biblical episodes, examining these works as a group and considering them in context.
