Dutch Art (Rembrant)

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606- 1669)

Rembrandt heeft ongeveer 300 schilderijen gemaakt, waarvan 100 zelfportretten.
Zijn beroemdste werk is "de nachtwacht" oftwel "Het korporaalschap van Frans Banning en luitenant Willem Ruytenburgh".
Zijn opmerkelijke beheersing van het spel met licht en donker, waarbij hij vaak scherpe contrasten (clair-obscure) neerzette om zo de toeschouwer de voorstelling binnen te leiden, leidde tot levendige scenes vol dramatiek.

The Night Watch by Rembrandt van Rijn
(The compagny of Frans Banning Cocq and Willem van Ruytenburch)
Rembrandt is generally considered as one of the greatests painters and printmakers in European art history, and the most important in Dutch history.
His later years were marked by personal tragedy and financial hardship.
Rembrandt's self-portraits form a unique and intimate biography, in which the artist surveyed himself without vanity and with the utmost sincerity.
