The heavy use of quotes makes the book a bit of a slog to read, and Van de Wetering makes his points again and again and again, while his overall ideas are pretty much clear very early on. (On a side note – the font the quotes are set in is terrible, making the lengthy passages hard to read.)
It’s an important book for any serious, professional Rembrandt scholar, but in a way it is redundant for the general public because of the 2017 publication of the affordable edition of Rembrandt’s Paintings Revisited – A Complete Survey: A Reprint of A Corpus of Rembrandt Paintings VI by the same author. For about 65 euros that delivers a truly spectacular feast: every known Rembrandt painting in a good, full page reproduction, with scholarly texts on almost each painting – some only a paragraph long, some spanning multiple pages. If you have read that, there is not that much too learn from this book, except for details.
