<column name="commenttext">There is a popular and romantic myth about
Rembrandt and the Jewish people. One of history's greatest artists, we are
often told, had a special affinity for Judaism. With so many of Rembrandt's
works devoted to stories of the Hebrew Bible, and with his apparent penchant
for Jewish themes and the sympathetic portrayal of Jewish faces, it is no
wonder that the myth has endured for centuries.
Rembrandt's Jews puts this myth to the test as it examines both the legend
and the reality of Rembrandt's relationship to Jews and Judaism. In his
elegantly written and engrossing tour of Jewish Amsterdam-which begins in
1653 as workers are repairing Rembrandt's Portuguese-Jewish neighbor's house
and completely disrupting the artist's life and livelihood-Steven Nadler
tells us the stories of the artist's portraits of Jewish sitters, of his
mundane and often contentious dealings with his neighbors in the Jewish
quarter of Amsterdam, and of the tolerant setting that city provided for
Sephardic and Ashkenazic Jews fleeing persecution in other parts of Europe.
As Nadler shows, Rembrandt was only one of a number of prominent
seventeenth-century Dutch painters and draftsmen who found inspiration in
Jewish subjects. Looking at other artists, such as the landscape painter
Jacob van Ruisdael and Emmanuel de Witte, a celebrated painter of
architectural interiors, Nadler is able to build a deep and complex account
of the remarkable relationship between Dutch and Jewish cultures in the
period, evidenced in the dispassionate, even ordinary ways in which Jews and
their religion are represented-far from the demonization and grotesque
caricatures, the iconography of the outsider, so often found in depictions of
Jews during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
Through his close look at paintings, etchings, and drawings; in his
discussion of intellectual and social life during the Dutch Golden Age; and
even through his own travels in pursuit of his subject, Nadler takes the
reader through Jewish Amsterdam then and now-a trip that, under
ever-threatening Dutch skies, is full of colorful and eccentric
personalities, fiery debates, and magnificent art.
