Art History Rembrant van Rijn etchings drawings Margaret Mahler women The Dutch painter, etcher, and draftsman Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (July 15, 1606 – October 4, 1669) is generally regarded as one of the greatest artists in European history. This study documents Rembrandt’s representation of the female nude in his drawings and etchings, highlighting his ongoing expressive and stylistic development. Following a brief introductory biography of Rembrandt’s life, this thesis reviews the chronological stages which have been previously suggested in studies of Rembrandt’s works, and examines the nature of the drawings and etchings of the female nude, with particular consideration given to the role of the gaze. Integral to this study is a review of the publications in which scholars use psychological theories to understand Rembrandt’s diverse images of women, particularly the nude. Further, this review includes the most recent art historical publications analyzing Rembrandt’s representations of the female nude. 2014-10-28 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1400512462 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1400512462 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
