CIP Info Titus, the son of famous artist Rembrandt van Rijn, tells how his father's life and work taught him about creativity and ways of seeing the world. They layout is perfect for this book allows the reader to focus on the text, then on the facing pages are left free of text. This allows the reader to focus on the exquisite illustrations. The detail and the focus of the illustration is second to none. This book is told from the perspective of Titus his son. Titus remains in awe of his father. Rembrandt stuck to his style and form even when his popularity lessened and he had to sell most of his items and move into a smaller house. Through all of that he never altered his artistic vision. The book overall is ok. But if you take time and focus on the outstanding illustrations, it is a force to be reckoned with.
