Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) October 2, 2006 -- Witness the incredible collection of Religious Etchings by Rembrandtat American Fine Art Editions, Inc. This wonderful collection will be featured beginning November 6, 2008, just in time for the holiday gift giving season.

Rembrandt turned to the Bible as a source of inspiration for his etchings throughout his career. Celebrated as one of the greatest interpreters of biblical stories, he has depicted not only scenes from the Old Testament and the Apocrypha but also stories found in the New Testament, in particular those centered on the life of Christ. Rembrandt always demonstrated a remarkable empathy for the human dimension of these accounts, whatever their theological implications. Whether portraying the Virgin and Child in all of their glory, the beautiful landscape of the Flight into Egypt, or the power and authority conveyed in Christ preaching, Rembrandt has transformed the written word into a vividly compelling pictorial language.

REMBRANDT
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606-1669) ranks as one of the greatest painters in the history of Western Art. He possessed a profound understanding of human nature that was matched by a brilliant technique, not only in painting but also in drawing and etching. Rembrandt's work made an enormous impact on his contemporaries and influenced the style of many later artists.

For Rembrandt drawing and etching were as much major vehicles of expression as painting. Rembrandt's etchings were internationally renowned even during his lifetime. He exploited the etching process for its unique potential, using scribbling strokes to produce extraordinarily expressive lines.
