| | Rembrandt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Rembrandt lived beyond his means, buying many art pieces and especially prints (often used in his paintings), and rarities, which probably caused his bankruptcy in 1656. | | | Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (July 15, 1606 – October 4, 1669) is generally considered one of the greatest painters in European art history and the most important United Provinces (Netherlands) painter of the seventeenth century. | | | Geertje claimed that Rembrandt had broken his promise to marry her, and demanded of the council that they would force him to marry her. |

| | Similarities between Lastman's painting and Rembrandt's are Balaam and the ass. | | | Rembrandt stayed with Lastman for six months and Lastman's influence would continue to be present in his work. | | | Perhaps this painting was Rembrandt's reaction to religious or political oppression. |

| | CGFA- Bio: Rembrandt |
| | Rembrandt was a Dutch baroque artist who ranks as one of the greatest painters in the history of Western art. | | | His full name was Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, and he possessed a profound understanding of human nature that was matched by a brilliant technique- not only in painting but in drawing and etching- and his work made an enormous impact on his contemporaries and influenced the style of many later artists. | | | Rembrandt moved to Amsterdam in 1631; his marriage in 1634 to Saskia van Uylenburgh, the cousin of a successful art dealer, enhanced his career, bringing him in contact with wealthy patrons who eagerly commissioned portraits. |

| | A few were made as preparatory studies for etchings and paintings, but in general Rembrandt's drawings are distinct from his activity as a painter and etcher. | | | The expense of Rembrandt's house, his outlay on various investments and on works of art for his own collection, brought financial crisis in the 1650s. | | | History painting was considered to be the noblest form of art, and Rembrandt's ambitions in this direction are clear from his earliest paintings. |

| | Rembrandt was influenced considerably by Lastman's compositional style. | | | Rembrandt began his artistic studies under Jacob I. van Swanenburch, a history painter who had spent some time in Italy. | | | In 1625 Rembrandt returned to Leiden and set up his own independent studio and in 1629 he began the first of his numerous self-portraits (Self Portrait, 1929). |

| | Rembrandt may have become a social outcast but there were still people who admired his art and came to visit him. | | | Rembrandt was the first artist to practice self-portraiture as a speciality. | | | In his late years, Rembrandt increasingly retreated into his lonely studio and, bereft of commissions and always in debt, he painted some of his best works. |

| | Rembrandt's life, like his art, is also fraught with contrast; for every bright moment, there seems to be an equally dark opposite, as if the artist were cursed into never living in peace. | | | What sets Rembrandt's style apart from that of Lastman's is his composition; like in the works of Caravaggio, Rembrandt's background composition remains dark, while his subject is illuminated in a manner which makes the image appear nearly three dimensional. | | | Saskia also modeled for several of Rembrandt's paintings, and the way in which he portrayed her always echoed the love in his heart. |

| | (1630): Rembrandt had used the blunt end of his brush to scratch details of the foliage, Jeremiah’s beard and the fastenings of his tunic in the wet paint, a characteristic technique of his early years. | | | Rembrandt executed historical paintings, initially following Lastman’s models: The turning point in Rembrandt’s further career was the visit to Leiden of Constantijn Huygens, the widely educated secretary of the governor Prince Frederick Hendrick, who developed great interest in Rembrandt and his art. | | | The painting is a “recapitulation of the ideals of Rembrandt’s first ten Amsterdam years, and is the last painting in which he strives for brilliant external effects. |

| | Rembrandt was a notoriously difficult man and an inveterate risk taker in life and art: his aspirations to a grandiose Amsterdam lifestyle in the heyday of his popularity as a painter of portraits and large-scale historical works bankrupted him, and he died in relative poverty. | | | Rembrandt's Eyes, a mammoth book that takes on with grace the equally mammoth task of explaining what is behind the brooding eyes of Rembrandt's portraits, will be a definitive work on the painter and his work. | | | The great 17th-century Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn left us so many arresting self-portraits, painted at every stage in his eventful life, that his distinctive face and bearing are a familiar part of the 20th-century cultural landscape, a recognizable presence in galleries across Europe and North America. |

| | But the more profound aspect of Rembrandt's art, the compassion and sympathy for humanity, was Rembrandt's own, present in his sharp, early Baroque style and in his later pictorial symphonies of texture, gesture, and quiet drama. | | | Refusing to adapt his style to prevailing fashion and nearly bankrupt, Rembrandt moved to a poor section of town with his mistress, Hendrickje Stoffels, and his only living child, Titus, in 1656. | | | Around 1631, he moved to Amsterdam, becoming its leading painter and a wealthy man. He began using canvas rather than panel, experimented with paints of different fluidities, and explored etching. |

| | Rembrandt was not only a gifted painter but also an inspired graphic artist: he has probably never been surpassed as an etcher, and he often seems inimitable as a draughtsman. | | | Vermeer may have excelled Rembrandt in the art of illusion but was less prolific. | | | Rembrandt combined theory and practice, inventing, for instance, a new kind of painting, the ‘tronie’ or portrait head (see §I, 2(i) below), a compromise between portraiture and history painting. |
