The man who bought it was a Sephardi Jew in the service of Cardinal Richelieu of France. The first known buyer of an etching plate by Rembrandt, depicting \u003ci\u003eAbraham Dismissing Hagar and Ishmael\u003c\/i\u003e, was a Sephardi Jew of Amsterdam. Seen through their eyes, Rembrandt was the creator of images with a special meaning to Jews. They have been followed through the centuries by Jewish collectors, Jewish art historians, Jewish artists who saw their own deepest concerns modelled in his art and life, and even prominent rabbis, one of whom said that Rembrandt was a Tzadik, a holy man blessed by God. This book is the first study in depth of the potent bond between Rembrandt and Jews, from his time to ours, a bond that has penetrated the image of the artist and the people alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMirjam Knotter, chief curator and manager exhibitions, Jewish Museum, Amsterdam, author and curator of Kabbalah: The Art of Jewish Mysticism (Vienna, Jüdisches Museum; Amsterdam, Jewish Museum, 2018); Author of \u003ci\u003eFrom Angel to the Shekhinah: The Influence of Kabbalah on the Late Work of R.B.
