Rembrandt was a Dutch painter and
printmaker, and considered one of the greatest visual artists in the history of
art and the most important in Dutch art history. Unlike most Dutch masters of
the 17th century, Rembrandt's works depict a wide range of style and subject
matter, from portraits and self-portraits to landscapes, historical scenes,
biblical and mythological themes as well as animals.
His contributions to art
came in a period, Dutch Golden Age, when Dutch art, antithetical to the Baroque
style that dominated Europe, was extremely prolific and innovative, and gave
rise to important new genres. Like many artists of the Dutch Golden Age, such
as Jan Vermeer of Delft, Rembrandt was also an avid art collector and dealer.
Vincent
van Gogh wrote, "Rembrandt goes so deep into the mysterious that he says
things for which there are no words in any language. It is with justice that
they call Rembrandt magician."
