Rembrandt verse drama

The omnibus Dmitry Kedrina "Rembrandt" usually stands alone as the only dramatic work. But it is necessary to clarify that it is the only extant Kedrinskii verse drama. For the first time, "Rembrandt" was published in three issues of the magazine "October" for 1940. The preparatory period of its creation has taken the author of nearly two years, but directly on her work took him only a month and a half. Cedrenus even ashamed to admit it then. Konstantin Simonov, for example, believed that the "Rembrandt", written beautiful poetry, demanded more work lay. Interestingly I spoke about this uncommon Vladimir Lugovskoy work: "In its very big and strong things in play about Rembrandt, Cedrenus showed us an artist, rich in spirit the artist who wrote truthful, honest and incorruptible. And this is a lot of creative characteristics of Kedrina. "
