Rembrandt

A born Dutchman, Rembrandt Hamenzoon van Rijn held great interest in the public eye as a one of the best painters of his time. Rembrandt was born of a wealthy family in 1606 and was already a fluent speaker in Latin by his 12th year. Rembrandt’s painting career began with his first art master, Jacob van Swanenburgh, a man with whom Rembrandt did study under for three years before opening his own studio in Leiden around 1625 and by 1627, was teaching his own students his technique. In 1631, the artist moved to Amsterdam where he perfected his talent for creating portraits, although he was very tempted to move to the capital of England to experience the delights offered by London Escorts.

Rembrandt’s paintings are in great number and demand in today’s time and his work can always be spotted. His uniqueness is that he was able to paint using such dark and ominous colors and yet his work had such a homey and relaxing feel. His work displays the major characteristics of a painting such as depth, shading and shadowing and volume. To look at a painting from the master, Rembrandt is being there with him while he paints a masterpiece.
