This Six Chapter DVD Nigel Konstam reveals Rembrandt's working methods, creative process, interests and values. Nigel takes a critical look at how the Great Master has been reinvented by modern art scholars.

Introduction

In which we see how scholars' expectations of genius lead to the loss of great works of art. Looking at style rather than human content misleads.

-Introduction -The Deathbed of David -The Virgin and Child

Experiment and Change

-Job -Rembrandt The Director

Imagination

Shows how what we admire in Rembrandt's work is observed from life, and what leads scholars to disqualify is made up
-Isaac and Esau -Rembrandt Misunderstood -The Lion Hunt

Mirrors

The use of mirrors proves that Rembrandt did indeed draw from life and challenges present methods of dating works of art.
-Musicians, -Mummers, -Two Drawings (Woman in North Holland Dress) -Many Drawings (Hagar series) -Conclusions

Christ Raising a Sick Woman

Rembrandt's interests and working method

The Unworthy Wedding Guest

The Adoration of the Shepherds

Nigel Compares two oil paintings by Rembrandt - one of which has been deattributed and demonstrates that one is a mirror image of the other.

Nigel would like to make a TV documentary to make the position of Rembrandt scholarship better known. His DVD is available now free of charge to anyone interested in making the documentary. (Running time about 1 hour total). The DVD takes the arguments presented here much further. Nigel Konstam, the author and discoverer of the above is available for consultation or participation in the project.
