Great Hollands Golden Age, the first modern nation, the blueprint for all other Western nations, William III of the House of Orange-Nassau created the British Empire and the English don't like, NO hate that historical fact.
The Greeks and the Romans created their own empires, so did the Spaniards and the Dutch, but the defeated English needed the Dutch to form the British Empire.
You don't believe this fact?? Did you ever saw a English warmovie about the 17th century??
budd: Oh I agree, they are VERY good. It seems that Rembrandt was going for a literal representation and Van Gogh was more trying to create mood and emotion rather than a literal representation.
In my view, Van Gogh's finest creations were his landscapes (lark in the wheatfield, starry night, cypresses at Arles, crows in the cornfield) whereas Rembrandt's majesty is in his portraits (the night watch, the Jewish bride, the anatomy lesson of Dr. Tulp) ... both were masters and geniuses and giants among men ...
budd: Yes, I'm just saying that Van Gogh's self-portraits are just as interesting to look at as well. Esp. because each one is extremely different from the rest. Even the colors change.
beautiful.

I love this film, and the music. But I don't read Dutch so I'm not sure I understood, is Henny Vrienten the author of this marvelous melody?

"An autobiography without words" ... no other artist recorded his own image so superbly as Rembrandt.

It's like comparing Beethoven and Chopin, both were superb. When it comes to self portraits, though, Rembrandt's were sublime - without equal!

I don't know, that's just my opinion.
