Young Rembrandt Audiobook Summary
A captivating exploration of the little-known story of Rembrandt’s formative years by a prizewinning biographer.
Rembrandt van Rijn’s early years are as famously shrouded in mystery as Shakespeare’s, and his life has always been
an enigma. How did a miller’s son from a provincial Dutch town become the greatest artist of his age? How, in short,
did Rembrandt become Rembrandt?
Seeking the roots of Rembrandt’s genius, the celebrated Dutch writer Onno Blom immersed himself in Leiden, the
city in which Rembrandt was born in 1606 and where he spent his first twenty-five years. It was a turbulent time, the
city having only recently rebelled against the Spanish. There are almost no written records by or about Rembrandt, so
Blom tracked down old maps, sought out the Rembrandt family house and mill, and walked the route that Rembrandt
would have taken to school. Leiden was a bustling center of intellectual life, and Blom, a native of Leiden himself,
brings to life all the places Rembrandt would have known: the university, library, botanical garden, and anatomy
theater. He investigated the concerns and tensions of the era: burial rites for plague victims, the renovation of the city
in the wake of the Spanish siege, the influx of immigrants to work the cloth trade. And he examined the origins and
influences that led to the famous and beloved paintings that marked the beginning of Rembrandt’s celebrated career
as the paramount painter of the Dutch Golden Age.
Young Rembrandt is a fascinating portrait of the artist and the world that made him. Evocatively told and beautifully
illustrated with more than 100 color images, it is a superb biography that captures Rembrandt for a new generation.
