Features: Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn (1606-1669), the most symbolic art master of the Golden Age of Dutch painting in the 17th century. His achievements in the technique of "light and shadow" can be compared to those of the great masters of the Renaissance. He created an immense number of works in his lifetime. His largest and most famous oil painting, "The Night Watch," features dramatic contrasts of light and dark, exquisite brushwork, and lifelike depictions.

Rembrandt (1606—1669) was born into a middle-class family of a miller in Leiden. He attended university for a short time before dropping out to become a painter and pursuing the lucrative profession of portrait painting, marrying a wealthy heiress. Her family's wealth laid the foundation for Rembrandt's success. Until his wife's death in 1642, Rembrandt was a portrait painter for the upper class. Afterward, his career began to decline, and he fell into debt. When Rembrandt died in 1669, he left behind only a few old clothes and painting tools, with no property. The vicissitudes of life and the warmth of human relationships left a strong imprint on Rembrandt's paintings.
