"If you can wade through this incredibly detailed and meaty book, you will acquire an indigestion of insight, and will no doubt be the smartest kid at the party of all things Rembrandt."
"This book is not only about Rembrandt, but others artists (Ruebens is the main subject of the first 200 pages), economy, religion, politics, even gossip...all in the 1600's...the Gold Age of the Netherlands. The book is dense with information, lots of trivia. I found it very interesting."
