Welcome to Litsy!

An interesting way to view Rembrandt‘s works - an emphasis on his self portraits and the way he painted his nose. It mentioned a lot about the artists‘ life but didn‘t go into detail. I don‘t much about Rembrandt‘s life so I wish it had more information about that, but otherwise a good read.
3/5 stars read if you want to read about a unique way to consider Rembrandt‘s works.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

This book was everything. Best read in contemplation, the author‘s writing was simple yet, every sentence had something to unpack.
I left reading this book with much understanding of my faith and a picture of God the Father that I never knew before.
I highly recommend it!

Rating: 5/5

Borrowed from Miss K because I know NOTHING! Either you like Simon Schama or you don't. I like him: he's erudite without a hint of stuffiness and he spins a damned good story.
Caravaggio, Bernini, Rembrandt, David, Turner, Van Gogh, Picasso, Rothko. I was surprised how much I enjoyed the Rothko chapter: didn't think I "got" that kind of art at all. Thoroughly absorbing book altogether.

just gonna leave this here...🤣🤣

This book was beautiful and well told. Coming of age in the seventeenth century as the illegitimate daughter of Rembrandt. I think it was actually based on his daughter if I‘m remembering that right.

This is definitely a book best read in a contemplative mood but I appreciated it despite just chugging through.

Reread for Well-Read Mom bookclub. ❤️

Such an interesting book about overviews of true art heists, specifically of Rembrandts. If you listened to the podcast Last Seen, you‘ll be familiar with some of the accounts. But all of the thefts in this book were fascinating nonetheless. It‘s well written and a quick read. #catsoflitsy
