Kenneth Clark
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
"There remains the extraordinary example of Rembrandt's etching of a couple on a bed, where I do not find the subject at all disturbing because it is seen entirely in human terms and is not intended to promote action. But it is, I believe, unique, and only Rembrandt could have done it." --Kenneth Clark in The Longford Report (1972) |
