	Rembrandt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (July 15, 1606 or 1607– October 4, 1669) is generally considered one of the greatest painters in European art history and the most important in Dutch history.
		In 1629 Rembrandt was discovered by the statesman and poet Constantijn Huygens, the father of Christiaan Huygens (a famous Dutch mathematician and physicist), who procured for Rembrandt important commissions from the court of the Hague.
		Rembrandt died soon after his son, on October 4, 1669 in Amsterdam, and was buried in an unmarked grave in the Westerkerk.

	Rembrandt
		Rembrandt puts a high value on the picture, which he says had been painted "with much care and zeal", but he is willing to take what the prince thinks proper; while to Huygens he sends a large picture as a present for his trouble in carrying through the business.
		Rembrandt touched no side of art without setting his mark on it, whether in still life, as in his dead birds or the "Slaughtered Ox" of the Louvre (with its repetitions at Glasgow and Budapest), or in his drawings of elephants and lions, all of which are instinct with life.
		Rembrandt returns to the simplest gamut of color, but shows his skill in the use of it, leaving on the spectator an impression of absolute enjoyment of the result, unconscious of the means.

		Rembrandt, studia con attenzione i quadri di Lastman e ne impara la precisione e l’uso di colore tipicamente italiano; riproponendo alcuni dei soggetti storici del maestro Rembrandt dimostra in poco tempo di avere acquisito tecnica e personalità alle quali lo Stesso Lastman non arriverà mai.

		What sets Rembrandt's style apart from that of Lastman's is his composition; like in the works of Caravaggio, Rembrandt's background composition remains dark, while his subject is illuminated in a manner which makes the image appear nearly three dimensional.
		Rembrandt's life, like his art, is also fraught with contrast; for every bright moment, there seems to be an equally dark opposite, as if the artist were cursed into never living in peace.
		Dircx even took Rembrandt to court, on the grounds that he had promised to marry her, but Hendrickje testifies, and Geertge Dircx is sent to prison for her attempt at defrauding the court.
