Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn is generally considered one of the foremost masters of western art history, and perhaps the greatest Dutch painter of all time. Known simply as Rembrandt, he lived and worked during what is now known as the Dutch Golden Age. Rembrandt is heralded for his uncanny ability to softly fuse the divine and the everyday, creating richly moving scenes that cannot be compared to his contemporaries nor any painter that followed him. He achieved his fame initially through portraits, and continued to creating nuanced and intimate portraits until the end of his life. Many of his most notable portraits, even works in general, are the series of self-portraits that he created over the span of his career. These portray Rembrandt without pretense, with great honesty, and created the most telling biography of the painter that exists. Rembrandt also depicted many moving portraits of his contemporaries and a large collection of scenes from the Bible. Rembrandt was well read and studied and his great knowledge and intellect informed many of his paintings.

Rembrandt was born in the Dutch Republic, now known as the Netherlands to a very wealthy family. It was here that he began his intellectual development with a strong foundation in a Latin school. He attended the University of Leiden and later apprenticed with a noteworthy painter, Jacob van Swanenburgh. Rembrandt soon opened a studio and took on many students, many of who went on to become important Dutch painters themselves. Several years later Rembrandt moved to Amsterdam, where he truly came into his own as a painter. He began at this time to paint portraits professionally and take on more students. Frequently during this period, Rembrandt also painted scenes from great biblical stories, soliciting his elderly Jewish neighbors as models. Personal tragedies, such as the death of his wife, allowed Rembrandt to create some of the most moving portraits of his life, including his wife on her death bed.

Rembrandt created quite a volume of work estimated to be around 300 paintings, 400 etchings and more than 2,000 drawings. In a rare surviving letter written by Rembrandt he declared that his highest goal in his art was “the greatest and most natural movement.” This statement has been interpreted in a variety of ways by art historians, but it is clear that Rembrandt captured great emotion and fluidity in his many paintings. Rembrandt went through many stylistic changes throughout his career, but is known for his strong attention to detail and the skill with which he represented emotion in his subjects and landscapes. His paintings universally adhere to a smooth manner of paint application that provide a richness to his work and showcase is skilled technique. These techniques are showcased in many of the paintings available for purchase in our Landscape Canvas section. With Rembrandt's passing in 1669 at the age of 63 he left a legacy as one of the most skilled painters with an uncanny ability to present rich emotion through careful brush strokes.
