About Rembrandt van Rijn
Dutch Golden Age master, one of the greatest painters and printmakers in European art. He was celebrated for his dramatic use of light and shadow and his profound insight into human character, seen across portraits, biblical scenes and a remarkable series of self-portraits spanning his life. Enormously successful early on, he later faced financial ruin and personal loss, dying in 1669 with a body of work of unmatched psychological depth.
