Rembrandt

Rembrandt / Typex, 238 pgs.

A graphic biography of the great master, Rembrandt van Rijn with details that are a little fuzzy.  This book covers his painting career, love, and family life.  Rembrandt was popular in his day but managed his money and fame poorly.  He was cantankerous and perhaps a bit of an ass.  His work endures, however and he is considered one of the great masters.  More interesting is the way the art reveals something about Rembrandt's own style.  I think the pictures here are more important than the story.
