Rembrandt

CHAPTER V
15/19

The dim blacks and browns lead up to the golden brown illuminating the old weary head, that wonderful golden brown--the secret of Rembrandt.
This old Jew lives through the magic art of Rembrandt.

He crouches in the frame, wistful and waiting, the eternal type, eternally dreaming the Jews' dream that is still a dream.

This in itself must make his book a text-book for all time." =The Magazine of Art=.--"It is all wonderfully true to life, obviously sincere and convincing, and vastly entertaining." =The Bystander=.--"One of the most delightful biographical sketches which has appeared for a long time." =To-day=.--"A deeply interesting and an extremely entertaining volume." =The Daily News=.--"A quite miraculous study that, like Shallow, ought to provide the world with laughter for the wearing out of six fashions.
