Author Molly Blaisdell transports young readers to the city of Amsterdam in the 1650s. It is a time when world-renowned artist Rembrandt van Rijn is at the height of fame among his patrons�EUR"and when his young son Titus longs to imitate his father and become a great painter. At first, Rembrandt rebuffs Titus�EURTMs attempts at drawing, telling the boy he is too young to learn art. But gradually, the master painter is won over by his son�EURTMs enthusiasm and persistence, and he begins to teach a very happy Titus the basic techniques of drawing from life. Here is a warmhearted story for children, with illustrations that capture the atmosphere of seventeenth-century Holland and suggest some of the genius that radiates from Rembrandt�EURTMs own magnificent paintings.
