Rembrandt HARMENSZOON VAN RIJN (b. July 15, 1606, Leiden, Neth.--d. Oct. 4, 1669, Amsterdam), Dutch painter, draftsman, and etcher of the 17th century, a giant in the history of art. His paintings are characterized by luxuriant brushwork, rich colour, and a mastery of chiaroscuro. Numerous portraits and self-portraits exhibit a profound penetration of character. His drawings constitute a vivid record of contemporary Amsterdam life. The greatest artist of the Dutch school, he was a master of light and shadow whose paintings, drawings, and etchings made him a giant in the history of art.

A truly divine master! A bliss to humanity.

p.s. I love classical music but Carmen is completely not suited for his paintings...

@sandyai it's the Habanera piece of "Carmen" by Georges BIzet

When I play this video it doesn't play Dinah Washington's song. It's playing an opera song and I would really like to know who composed it.....

@tito1655 Exactly right! Rembrandt's portraits have psychological complexity and profound emotional character. On top of this I think Rembrandt had deeply felt human sympathy for his subjects and understood suffering and sadness, which is apparent if you look into the eyes of many of his sitters.
