Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606-1669) was a Dutch painter and etcher widely regarded as one of the greatest artists in European history and a central figure of the Dutch Golden Age. He was a master of chiaroscuro (light and shadow) and profound psychological insight, creating iconic works from biblical scenes to intimate, honest self-portraits. His innovative use of expressive brushwork and light brought a deep sense of humanity and drama to his subjects. Though he faced personal hardship, Rembrandt's prolific body of work has endured as a timeless exploration of human character and emotion.
