Considered a bold step for a fledgling artist, this change demonstrates that Rembrandt wanted to benefit financially from Amsterdam's robust art market. He soon married the cousin of a successful art dealer, and came into frequent contact with wealthy and sophisticated patrons who eagerly commissioned him to paint their portraits. The artist's style quickly evolved from the small, meticulous panels of his Leiden period to the broadly brushed, dramatically lit, and realistically rendered canvases for which he is renowned. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eRembrandt in Amsterdam\u003c\/i\u003e explores this pivotal transition in the artist's career and reveals how the stimulating and affluent environment of Amsterdam inspired him to reach his full potential. Lavishly illustrated, this volume offers a fascinating look into Amsterdam's unparalleled creative community and its role in Rembrandt's development of a wide-ranging brand that comprised landscapes, genre scenes, history paintings, portraits, and printmaking. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistributed for the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNational Gallery of Canada, Ottawa\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (May 14-September 6, 2021) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eStädel Museum, Frankfurt am Main\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (Fall 2021)\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStephanie S.
