 Rembrandt van Rijn Art. Paintings. Pictures. Art desktop wallpapers.
Rembrandt van Rijn (July 15, 1606, Leiden, Netherlands - October 4, 1669, Amsterdam, Netherlands) is generally considered one of the greatest painters in European art history and the most important painter in Dutch history.
Among the prominent characteristics of his work are his use of chiaroscuro, the theatrical employment of light and shadow derived from Caravaggio but adapted for very personal means, his dramatic and lively presentation of subjects, devoid of the rigid formality, and a deeply felt compassion for mankind, irrespective of wealth and age.
Rembrandt's approach to composition and rendering of space and light - like handling of contour, form, and colour, his brushwork, and his treatment of tone - all this made Rembrandt's art immortal and everlasting.
