Rembrandt and his works

Born July 15, 1606, in Leiden; died Oct. 4, 1669, in Amsterdam. Dutch painter, draftsman, and etcher. Rembrandt’s art is distinguished by an unusual vitality and humanity. The artist combined his keen insight into human emotions with an exceptional painting technique, in which special importance was given to subtle effects of chiaroscuro. His principal genres were portraits and biblical and mythological scenes.
Rembrandt’s portraits from this period are marked by a detailed rendering of the facial features, costume, and jewelry (for example, Portrait of Cornells Claezoon Ansio and a Woman, 1641, Picture Gallery, Berlin-Dalem). In his self-portraits and portraits of his relatives and friends, Rembrandt employed broad brushwork and sought dramatic effects (for example, Rembrandt and Saskia, c. 1635, Picture Gallery, Dresden). The artist produced a number of works in which the superficial passion and dynamism of the baroque predominated (for example, The Blinding of Samson, 1636, Staedel Institute, Frankfurt am Main). At the same time, Rembrandt painted works marked by an underlying drama and a democracy of image (for example, The Descent From the Cross, 1634, Hermitage, Leningrad). Some works from this period, such as Danaë (1636, Hermitage), are realistic in execution.
Rembrandt produced his first landscapes during the 1630’s. An example is The Stone Bridge (c. 1638, Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam). The artist’s first major etchings, including The Return of the Prodigal Son (1636) and Self-portrait Leaning on a Stone Wall (1639), also date from this period. Rembrandt produced his best pencil drawings, employing various techniques, in this early period. However, he most often worked in ink and brush.
The growing conflict between Rembrandt’s art and the bourgeois Dutch society, which had lost its democratic traditions, reached a crisis in 1642, when the painting Night Watch (Rijksmuseum) provoked the protests of those who commissioned the work. Instead of painting a conventional group portrait, Rembrandt had created a dramatic scene depicting a group of militiamen assembling. The portrait was essentially a historical painting that revived memories of the Dutch people’s liberation struggle. This picture marked Rembrandt’s fall from favor. Commissions virtually stopped, and only a few students remained in the master’s studio.
Only a few of Rembrandt’s students, such as C. Fabritius and A. de Gelder, were able to grasp fully the master’s artistic principles. However, Rembrandt’s innovations in realistic representation made him one of the most influential artists in the history of world art.
