Rembrandt is without a doubt the greatest painter in the history of what today is still called art. The so called artist of today couldnt even clean rembrandts pallette. Todays artworld is nothing but a scam, for critics, how can blind men judge the beauty of a sunset or anything else.

Charlie, thanks for contributing to this site. Always stimulating, always provocative, always makes me want to gather more information on a particular subject. I cruise the list with your name attached and become better informed. Your videos help me to discriminate from all the "stuff" out there.

@camargovalentino you're a fool 

[RsAnc1ents]

agreed

[kasumisman]

indeed i dont see van gogh as a master but just an artist thats probably important in history maybe like picasso

[ejdf870]

There are still a few good painters around today (Giuseppe Russotto, Rupert Alexander, David Leffel, to name a few) that put some of the lesser painters of the past to shame.

We tend to judge the art of the past by its cream. For every Rembrandt there were thousands of mediocre painters in his time.

[ejdf870]

Van Gogh was nowhere near the same league as either Rembrandt or Rubens

[TitoTarrrantula]

What a wonderful range of specialities - i enjoy the old masters every time i have the chance to see them, especially Rembrandt, Rubens and van Gogh, each master oft his own with an abilitiy to show life and its circumstances.

"Das Zeitalter Rembrandts" macht mit einer Auswahl an Werken und Künstlern gerade Station in Österreichs Hauptstadt, Wien. Wirklich empfehlenswerte Ausstellung, die noch bis 21.06.09 in der ALBERTINA zu sehen ist.

Charlie Rose and Philip de Montebello? What a joke! These two are both suffering from the NO CLUE BETTY BLUE plague. They talk about a collection without the slightest idea what the art is doing. It's all literature to them. Charlie Rose, oh how you pander to the establishment. His latest fiasco, a date with Damian Hirst. Says it all. I won't even begin to broach the subject of Philip. Not yet. But it is being collated as I write.
