Hi, from Prof. Michael Zell at BU in response to Ms. Gisolfi's forwarded message:
>As far as I know, there is no DVD or video focusing on Rembrandt and >the Jews. (The only film that touches on this part of the Rembrandt >myth is the outdated 1936 movie with Charles Laughton as the artist, >so I wouldn't recommend it). Landsberger's book is also very old and >very much a postwar product. A recent book by Steven Nadler, >entitled Rembrandt's Jews, is an accessibly-written overview. My >book Reframing Rembrandt: Jews and the Christian Image in >17th-Century Amsterdam isn't really intended for the general reader >and is pretty heavy "Art History." It's also a revisionist take that >may not appeal as much Nadler's text. Hope this helps, Joel Joel Bresler 250 E. Emerson Rd.
