Rembrandt van Rijn Author

Rembrandt van Rijn was a Dutch painter, draftsman, and printmaker whose extraordinary command of light, observation, and psychological expression made him one of the greatest artists of European art. His portraits, self-portraits, biblical scenes, landscapes, and etchings reveal an exceptional interest in human character and emotional experience. His experimental handling of paint and printmaking expanded the expressive possibilities of both media and continues to influence artists today.
