The works of painter Rembrandt?

Question

Who was the famous painter Rembrandt and what are his famous works ?

Answer 1

Rembrandt was famous for the 'Night watch' which now hangs in the museum in Amsterdam. It is behind glass, with security systum, because some one once again took a knife to the master piece. The painting is about 8 feet by 12 feet. And in this painting you will see Rembrandt in the back ground. I have disks that I got from 'Lexmark' some years ago. They are called - #1 'Personal Print Gallery' #2 ' Print Gallery' and #3 Print Gallery. These are considered the Masters from around the world. If you got hold of 'Lexmark' you may still be able to purchase them. The site on the back of this disks will send you to a site, but not in English. I will put it down for you anyway. But best to give Lexmark a contact.

Answer 2

Answer 3

Rembrandt was the highest baroque painter in Holland at Seventeen Century. As a painter from low bourgeois extraction, not always painted for church and nobles, being bourgeois themselves his customers, taking into account Holland was a hard bourgeois society, merchants and civil forces dictating rules. So, Rembrandt painted a lot of popular, not always sacred, motives: Ordinary people, people at work, privates parading, doctors doing their stuff, and so on, but also Bible episodes. As a good baroque painter, he used the chiaroscuro, a trademark for Caravaggio, but Rembrandt is kind of magician giving to his paintings some special taste, kind of blend between reality and spiritual, almost mystical condition. It is said, most as for his landscapes, that in a certain mood, Rembrandt announces --being a man from Baroque-- the Romanticism; and that's very important to me because, indeed, landscapes are not still, but agitated with winds blowing roughly, and trees almost root out, tempest getting near with black clouds about to unload. Light in Rembrandt is a miracle, and color, with always some earthy nuance. Memorable works from him are "Susanna and the Elders"; "Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp"; "The Night Watch"; "The Syndecs of the Clothmakers' Guild"; and a lot of portraits and self portraits through all his life. But it would be impossible to make relation of all his vast work.

Answer 4
