Rembrandt was one of the Dutch
Masters, known for painting images showing the depths
of humanity. A true master artist, Rembrandt produced
more than 600 paintings, 300 etchings and 2000 drawings
during his lifetime of 60 years. From the 1620s to
the year of his death, Rembrandt painted over 100
self-portraits, offering us more than a glimpse into
his world. His paintings are characterized by deep
colours and bold imagery. In addition to Biblical
illustrations, landscapes and portraits, Rembrandt
also captured scenes of everyday life. Some of his
most beautiful compositions depict the early decline
of his wife Saskia.
