Book Synopsis Images of the Feminine in Rembrandt's Work by : Anat Gilboa
Book excerpt: This study focuses on certain ideas and positions that define the woman in Rembrandt's work. In six chapters several aspects of the woman or feminine image are discussed: the development of female themes throughout Rembrandt's work, spirituality as embodied by Mary - the mother of Christ, portaiture - showing the women in her social context, the nude and the erotic, Rembrandt's intimate companions - Saskia van Uylenburgh, Geertge Dircx and Hendrickje Stoffels, and goddesses and heroines.
