Rembrandt van Rijn
Master of light and shadow
Dutch Golden Age painter (1606-1669), supreme portraitist.
He made paint glow from darkness and painted himself nearly 100 times across a lifetime — a candid diary of fame, grief, and ruin. Wildly successful young, he died bankrupt, having outspent and outlived nearly everyone he loved.
Famous for
- The Night Watch
- Dozens of self-portraits
- The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Tulp
