O jovem Rembrandt
More works
Rembrandt is the most important
painter of the Dutch 17th century. He started out in his home town of Leiden,
but quickly moved to Amsterdam, the fast-growing metropolis. There he painted
stories and portraits that are full of action and have a sharp contrast of
light and shade. Here Rembrandt’s paintings hang side-by-side with those of his
predecessors (the Utrecht Caravaggisti) and pupils (Gerrit Dou).
