Rembrandt, 1606-1669: 1: Self Portrait

on BBC Radio 3

Five radiovision broadcasts re-appraising the artist and his work on the occasion of the tercentenary of his death

T.G. Rosenthal discusses with Keith Roberts four pictures showing Rembrandt in youth, the prime of life, and old age.

Sir Kenneth Clark spoke for all students of Rembrandt when he said of him: 'The creative process will always remain mysterious, but, with clear indications to guide us, we may perhaps penetrate a little way towards the centre of this mystery.'

(Broadcast in Jan. Next week: Geoffrey Agnew on Portraits)
