Reframing Rembrandt Jews and the Christian Image in Seventeenth-Century Amsterdam (Ahmanson-Murphy Fine Arts Books) Hardcover - 2002

by Zell, Michael.


From the publisher

This richly detailed study reconceptualizes a striking but enigmatic moment in Rembrandt's art from the 1650s--one of the artist's most prolific and creative periods. Michael Zell identifies a significant theological shift in Rembrandt's use of religious imagery and interprets this shift in light of the unique religious and social conditions of seventeenth-century Amsterdam. Rembrandt's biblical art has generally been regarded as the embodiment of a Protestant aesthetic. By looking closely at the artist's relationship with his patron Rabbi Menasseh ben Israel and the ideas of a group of "philosemitic" Protestants with whom the rabbi was engaged in an apologetic dialogue, Zell deepens and complicates our understanding of Rembrandt's sacred art from this period.

First line

In 1655 Rembrandt a series of four illustrations for Menasseh be Israel 's messianic treatise Piedra Gloriosa.
