[josgvis]

Visit the very unique Rembrandt Exhibit in Raleigh NC Art Museum from November through December 2011.

This is a well-conceived video. It shows the progression of Rembrandt's life, from ambitious cocky young man, to mature artist, to his later life when his painting became rough and the sense of sad resignation begins to show. The second last portrait, maybe his last one, is rough, grotesque and beautiful and it's a real testament to his talent. Ending the video with a self-portrait of the young artist brings out the sadness of his story.

i read a book about his life.he had everything and then lost it all.

Thanks for posting Keitel10 and what a wonderful combination to combine the work of 2 genius people. I think Rembrandt has never been surpassed as a painter, it is almost scary how one can paint that way. Rembrandt is the Grand Master and ever lasting genius of painting!

I am always so moved and so astonished by the genius and humanity of Rembrandt. Who was this God that walked amongst us and painted such Divine portraits that captured the soul of the sitter?

at 0:36 he looks like Screech from saved by the bell. And holy shit, that's really him at 3:48?

What is the song by Bach, used here?

[keitel10]

Is the instrumental version of the Choral n.4 from Cantata BWv 140 " Wacher auf..".
