REMBRANDT. Rashed,Marwan. — L'enquête Rembrandt.

Paris, Les Belles Lettres, 2025. 549 pp. Ills (chiefly col.). Orig. softcover (pictorial wrappers). 8vo. - As new.This book tells the story of research into a lost painting by Rembrandt. A youthful work-probably painted in 1629, when Rembrandt was only twenty-two or twenty-three years old-that shed light on Dutch painting during the Golden Age and subsequently shaped the codes of German painting in Goethe's time, before its trace was lost in the mid-18th century, somewhere between Weimar and Dresden. It depicted Saint Jerome as a hermit, reading in the back of an open space furnished as a study. On his table stood a globe. It was the first time in art history, and almost the last, that this object appeared as an attribute of Saint Jerome. - Text in French.
