Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the years around 1651, Rembrandt's pupils carefully followed him in the transition to his later style. This style was characterized by concentration, inner emotions, impasto techniques and restrained dynamics. Around the same time, the young Abraham van Dijck arrived in Dordrecht for his studies. He soon mastered the emotional power of Rembrandt's new style, while at the same time developing a gentle alternative: separately from his master he explored the incantation of the inner life through daring experiments in light and technique. Together with fellow students Nicolaes Maes, Jacobus Leveck and Cornelis Bisschop, he returned to Dordrecht for a short and fruitful period in which he painted and drew. But in the end he again could not resist the lure of Amsterdam, although his special character did not exactly fit within the new fashion that there reigned -- just as his master had fared. "Abraham of Dijck. 1635-1680" is the first comprehensive monographic study of Van Dijck's exceptional achievements in drawing and painting and his distinctive contribution to the art of his time'.--Translation provided by cataloger via Google Translate.
