"More than three centuries after his death Rembrandt remains the most deeply loved of all the great masters of painting his face so familiar to us from the self-portraits painted at every stage in his life yet still so mysterious. As with Shakespeare the facts of his life are hard to come by: the Leiden miller's son who briefly found fame in Amsterdam whose genius was fitfully recognized by his contemporaries who fell into bankruptcy and died in poverty. So there is probably no painter whose life has engendered more legends nor to whom more unlikely pictures have been attributed a process now undergoing rigorous reversal. Rembrandt's Eyes about which Simon Schama has been thinking for more than twenty years shows that the true biography of Rembrandt is to be discovered in his pictures. Through a succession of superbly incisive descriptions and interpretations of Rembrandt's paintings threaded into this narrative he allows us to see Rembrandt's life clearly and to think about it afresh. But this book moves far beyond the bounds of conventional biography or art history. With extraordinary imaginative sympathy Schama conjures up the world in which Rembrandt moved -- its sounds smells and tastes as well as its politics; the influences on him of the wars of the Protestant United Provinces against Spain of the extreme Calvinism of his native Leiden of the demands of patrons and the ambitions of contemporaries; the importance of his beloved Saskia and after her death Rembrandt was later forced to sell her grave so complete was his ruin of his mistress Hendrickje Stoffels; and above all the profound effect on him of the great master of the immediately preceding generation the Catholic painter from Antwerp Peter Paul Rubens: 'the prince of painters and the painter of princes' with whom Rembrandt was obsessed for the first part of his life and whose career was the shaping force that drove Rembrandt to test the farthest reaches of his own originality.
