Rembrandt van Rijn, 1606–1669
Rembrandt van Rijn, a Dutch master, profoundly impacted Western art through his extensive paintings, drawings, and etchings, despite never leaving the Netherlands. His prolific body of work includes religious, historical, and secular scenes, alongside an exceptional collection of portraits and self-portraits. Rembrandt's art is characterized by its emphasis on texture, light, and keen observation, with subjects emerging from deep shadows, rendered with both physical and psychological depth. His ability to imbue figures, whether biblical or contemporary, with inner thoughts and feelings brought new human drama to timeless narratives.
