Name: e-Mail: Home All Art Prints in Stock Artists R - Artists Rembrandt, Van Rijn Rembrandt, Van Rijn Rembrandt Harmenszohn van Rijn (Rembrandt) (1606-1669) is regarded as one of the greatest painters of all time. He studied in Leyden and Amsterdam: his teacher, Peter Lastman, was himself a student of Caravaggio. Rembrandt established his own studio, training and working with many assistants. His work falls into three major periods; the first is sharply drawn with a varied palette; the second, between about 1640-1660, shows greater emphasis on darker shades with colour applied in blobs and dabs and thinner washes; and from about 1660 his technique became freer and intensely expressive of emotion. A superb draughtsman, his etchings and line drawings are among the finest ever produced. Rembrandt, although at one time wealthy, was not a good manager of money, and towards the end of his life he lived in considerable difficulty though he continued to paint as he wished until he died.
