DVD: Rembrandt - An Introduction

(Running time about 1 hour) £12 GB / €14 EUROS -Available on request. Email Nigel Konstam to obtain a copy . Price includes post and packing

This Seven Chapter DVD Nigel Konstam reveals Rembrandt's working methods, creative process, interests and values. Nigel takes a critical look at how the Great Master has been reinvented by modern art scholars.

1. Introduction - In which we see how scholars' expectations of genius lead to the loss of great works of art. Looking at style rather than human content misleads.
   Introduction - The Deathbed of David - The Virgin and Child
2. Experiment and Change
   Job - Rembrandt the Director
3. Imagination - Shows how what we admire in Rembrandt's work is observed from life, and what leads scholars to disqualify is made up
   Isaac and Esau - Rembrandt Misunderstood - The Lion Hunt
4. Mirrors - The use of mirrors proves that Rembrandt did indeed draw from life and challenges present methods of dating works of art.
   Musicians - Mummers - Two Drawings (Woman in North Holland Dress) - Many Drawings (Hagar series) - Conclusions
5. Christ Raising a Sick Woman - Rembrandt's interests and working method
6. The Unworthy Wedding Guest - Rembrandt shows us the inner thoughts of his characters and his own creative process
7. The Adoration of the Shepherds - Nigel Compares two oil paintings by Rembrandt - one of which has been deattributed and demonstrates that one is a mirror image of the other.

Nigel would like to make a TV documentary to make the position of Rembrandt scholarship better known. His DVD is available now free of charge to anyone interested in making the documentary. (Running time about 1 hour total). The DVD takes the arguments presented here much further. Nigel Konstam, the author and discoverer of the above is available for consultation or participation in the project.
