Vintage 1960 Rembrandt Claude Roger-Marx Art Book Universe Books NY Illustrated Fine Art Monograph Dutch Master Painting Hardcover

This is a vintage 1960 edition of Rembrandt by Claude Roger-Marx, published by Universe Books, Inc. in New York. A beautifully produced mid-century art monograph, this substantial volume offers an in-depth study of Rembrandt’s life, work, and artistic legacy, written by French art historian Claude Roger-Marx.

Roger-Marx was known for his writings on major European painters, and in this richly illustrated volume he explores Rembrandt across all phases of his career—his portraits, biblical scenes, landscapes, etchings, and drawings—while also examining the emotional depth, technical mastery, and chiaroscuro lighting that define the Dutch Golden Age master’s work.

This Universe Books edition is part of a period when high-quality art publishers in New York were producing large-format, heavily illustrated monographs designed for both scholars and collectors. It includes extensive black-and-white and color illustrations reproducing Rembrandt’s most important works, along with scholarly commentary and analysis of his evolving style and influence.

The book measures approximately 9.25” x 11” and spans 367 pages, making it a large, visually rich coffee-table style art reference volume.

The book is in good vintage condition. The spine shows some light fading, while the interior remains clean and well-preserved with strong binding and intact pages. Overall, it is a solid and attractive copy of this mid-century art reference.
