The man who bought it was a Sephardi Jew in the service of Cardinal Richelieu of France. The first known buyer of an etching plate by Rembrandt, depicting Abraham Dismissing Hagar and Ishmael, was a Sephardi Jew of Amsterdam. Seen through their eyes, Rembrandt was the creator of images with a special meaning to Jews. They have been followed through the centuries by Jewish collectors, Jewish art historians, Jewish artists who saw their own deepest concerns modelled in his art and life, and even prominent rabbis, one of whom said that Rembrandt was a Tzadik, a holy man blessed by God. This book is the first study in depth of the potent bond between Rembrandt and Jews, from his time to ours, a bond that has penetrated the image of the artist and the people alike. 606 $aART / History / General$2bisacsh 610 $aRembrandt, Jewish artists, Jewish museums, art collectors, Russian museums. 615 7$aART / History / General. 676 $a759.9492 700 $aKnotter$b Mirjam$01551429 701 $aSchwartz$b Gary$0108444 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910768401303321 996 $aRembrandt Seen Through Jewish Eyes$93810920 997 $aUNINA
