520    "A captivating exploration of the little-known story of 
       Rembrandt's formative years by a prize-winning biographer.
       Rembrandt van Rijn's early years are as famously shrouded 
       in mystery as Shakespeare's, and his life has always been 
       an enigma. How did a miller's son from a provincial Dutch 
       town become the greatest artist of his age? How in short, 
       did Rembrandt become Rembrandt? Seeking the roots of 
       Rembrandt's genius, the celebrated Dutch writer Onno Blom 
       immersed himself in Leiden, the city in which Rembrandt 
       was born in 1606 and where he spent his first twenty-five 
       years. It was a turbulent time, the city having only 
       recently rebelled against the Spanish. There are almost no
       written records by or about Rembrandt, so Blom tracked 
       down old maps, sought out the Rembrandt family house and 
       mill, and walked the route that Rembrandt would have taken
       to school. Leiden was a bustling center of intellectual 
       life, and Blom, a native of Leiden himself, brings to life
       all the places Rembrandt would have known: the university,
       library, botanical garden, and anatomy theater. He 
       investigated the concerns and tensions of the era: burial 
       rites for plague victims, the renovation of the city in 
       the wake of the Spanish siege, the influx of immigrants to
       work the cloth trade. And he examined the origins and 
       influences that led to the famous and beloved paintings 
       that marked the beginning of Rembrandt's celebrated career
       as the paramount painter of the Dutch Golden Age. Young 
       Rembrandt is a fascinating portrait of the artist and the 
       world that made him. Evocatively told and beautifully 
       illustrated with more than 100 color images, it is a 
       superb biography that captures Rembrandt for a new 
       generation"--|cProvided by publisher.
