Rembrandt and his works: comprising a short account of his life; with a critical examination into his principles and practice of design, light, shade, and colour. Illustrated by examples from the etchings of Rembrandt
A 1849 London art-historical study by John Burnet, published by D. Bogue, analysing Rembrandt's life and principles through reproductions of his etchings for an audience of artists and collectors. The plates show etched landscapes with boats, rigging and riverside buildings in loose, feathery hatching, plus a candlelit interior and a supper scene with strong light against dark shadow, useful to designers studying tonal contrast and economical line work.
