Rembrandt

Rembrandt van Rijn is the greatest painter in the European art world and is considered to be a Dutch painter and etcher during the golden age of the Netherlands. When he was a child, he tended to paint and spent three years on the apprenticeship of a local historical painter. After working for 6 months with painter Jan Pieter Lastman, he opened his own studio. He took student of art to a mature studio of 21 years old.

In 1631, Rembrandt moved to Amsterdam, Amsterdam expanded rapidly, and achieved great success by drawing personal portraits. In 1634 he married his wife Saskia van Weilenberg and began recruiting art students in Amsterdam the same year. His public life is on the right track, but his private life is getting worse. His wife Saskia gave birth to their first child, a boy in 1635, but he died in 2 months of age. A girl who is the second child died when she was three weeks old. Their third child, another girl, died a month ago. Only their fourth child, Titus, can be adult. Saskia died after Titus birth, probably for consumption

Although he had a wealthy life, Rembrandt's life was far beyond his ability. He had a big mortgage and was spending money on art, printmaking and rare items, and in 1656 he avoided bankruptcy by selling a lot of his collection of his paintings and artifacts . Unfortunately, his collection was sold out of expectation, he was obliged to sell his house and press and moved to a more discreet position. Rembrandt's son Titus and his common-law wife Hendrik Je and he had a daughter, Cornelia, who died in 1669. He was buried in an unmarked grave.

Rembrandt's work is very difficult. Rembrandt's approach is to make it possible for his students to copy many of the evolution and experiments of style made by his work and artist. Many art historians oppose whether many of his works are true symbols or not. There are many guesses that may never reach a consensus. Art historians also doubt that Rembrandt may have steric blindness and that only one of his eyes can function. This will further benefit his painting style by flattening his perception to paint on the canvas.

Rembrandt's second teacher, Peter Rastman (1583-1633), lives in Amsterdam. According to Orlers, Rembrandt was with him for 6 months. Working with Rustman, then known as a historical painter, should help Rembrandt acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to master that genre. Historical painting involves placing various characters in biblical, historical, mythical or allegorical scenes in a complex environment. In various kinds of hierarchies of the 17th century, historical paintings required complete learning of all themes in a wide range from landscape to architecture, from still life to curtains, from animals to the most important people, so the best position Occupied. Expressions and clothes Rembrandt biographer Arnold Fubraken (1660-1719) mentioned one more Amsterdam historical painter, Jacob Pinus (about 1585-1650), as one of Rembrandt's teachers.
