  • 2019 marks 350 years since Rembrandt's death. This book accompanies the exhibition at The Rembrandt House Museum in Amsterdam, exploring Rembrandt's network of friends and family
Rembrandt seems to have been an artist who took little notice of other people. Yet he had a family, friends and acquaintances who helped him, bought his art, lent him money, challenged him artistically and inspired him. He would never have become such a great artist without his social network. This book explores that network: Rembrandt's early friends, family members ('blood friends'), artist friends, the connoisseurs who supported him and his friends in times of need. As a friend, Rembrandt went his own way. He made little effort to get on with the elite, and preferred to surround himself with people who understood art. He had strong ties with them, as he did with the members of his family. He portrayed them in remarkably informal paintings and prints, works that bring Rembrandt's private world to life.

Book Description:
Voor Rembrandt kwam kunst altijd op de eerste plaats. Toch was hij beslist geen eenzaam zwoegend genie. Hij had familie, vrienden en relaties die hem hielpen, die zijn kunstwerken kochten, die hem geld leenden, die hem artistiek uitdaagden en inspireerden. Zonder hen was Rembrandt nooit zo’n groot kunstenaar geworden. In de zeventiende eeuw was je sociale netwerk van levensbelang. Voor het lenen van geld, het opzetten van je bedrijf en het vinden van klanten was je aangewezen op je vrienden en vooral je familie (‘bloedvrienden’). Dat gold ook voor Rembrandt. Wie waren zijn belangrijkste vrienden en wat hebben zij voor hem betekend? Dit boek brengt ze in kaart: de jeugdvrienden, familieleden, bevriende leerlingen, de kunstkenners en zijn ware vrienden. Als vriend blijkt Rembrandt een eigenzinnig persoon. Hij investeerde niet veel in een goede relatie met de elite, maar omringde zich liever met mensen die verstand hadden van kunst. Bovendien liet hij zijn dierbaren vaak model zitten, wat resulteerde in opvallend informele en intieme voorstellingen – ze brengen je vlakbij Rembrandts privéwereld.
