In graphic novel format looks at the ideas, lives, and times of eighteen seventeenth-century thinkers including Francis Bacon, Voltaire, Sir Issac Newton, and others.

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 Jewsputs this myth to the test as it examines both the legend and the reality of Rembrandt's relationship to Jews and Judaism.
