Rembrandt

Rembrandt
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn
July 15, 1606 - October 4, 1669

    
Rembrandt was a Dutch artist who worked in many different media and left the legacy of "master" from a standpoint of skills.

He has a broad spectrum of works including portraits to include self-portraits, landscapes, scenes of various genre, as well as symbolic scenes and historical representations, biblical and mythological themes and animal studies and he is remembered as one of the premiere visual artists ever.

I suppose the thing most important to me about Rembrant was that place he held in the heart of my late friend, Dewitt.

He spoke of his skills and art at quite often and at length.

Along with his other key favorite, Michaelangelo, I never tired of those discussions as we would turn the pages of every picture book we encountered.
