A profilic painter, draftsman, and etcher, Rembrandt is usually regarded as the greatest artist of Holland’s “Golden Age”. He worked first in his native Leiden and, from 1632 onward, in Amsterdam, where he had studied briefly with the influential history painter Pieter Lastman. Rembrandt never went abroad, but he carefully examined the work of Northern artist who had lived in Italy. In the Leiden period, Rembrandt also responded strongly to earlier Netherlandish artists, such as Lucas van Leyden. However, a crucial aspect of Rembrandt’s development was his intense study of people, objects, and their surroundings, ” from life” as it is obvious in paintings like his early selfportraits and the Saint Paul in Prison (1627). Even by Dutch standards, Rembrandt’s pre-occupation with direct observation was exceptional and continued throughout his career. Despite the constant evolution of his style, Rembrandt’s compelling descriptions of light, space, atmosphere, modeling, texture, and human situations may be traced back even from his late works, such as The Jewish Bride, Amsterdam, Rijksmuseum, to the foundations of his Leiden years. It was also this program, in good part that made Rembrandt a great teacher.
In Amsterdam, Rembrandt became a prominent portraitist, attracting attentionwith dramatic compositions like The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Tulp. In securing commissions, the artist was assisted by the Mennonite art dealer Hendrick Uylenburgh. The Mennonites advocated personal interpretation of scripture, which probably influenced Rembrandt’s subjective and often moving treatment of biblical subjects. The artist became highly successful in the 1630s, when he had several pupils and assistants, started his own art collection, and lived the life of a cultivated gentleman, especially in the impressive residence he purchased in 1639. Now it is known as the “Rembrandt House” museum. Rembrandt exudes confidence and urbanity in his Self-portraits by Raphael and Titian. These artists probably also inspired his Amsterdam signature, “Rembrandt”.
