A film to mark the 300th anniversary of the painter's death narrated by James Mason
The facts of Rembrandt's life are known, when he lived and where. Beyond this almost everything is conjecture. It is only through his work that we can discover the personality of one of the greatest artists of all time.
This documentary was produced by National Educational Television, New York, in association with the National Gallery of Art, Washington, and the script adviser was Dr Seymour Slive, the leading world authority on Rembrandt. The film, made largely in Holland, incorporates over 600 of Rembrandt's paintings, drawings, and etchings
Written and produced by R. F. Siemanowski
