- This article is about the Dutch artist. For other uses of the term, see Rembrandt (disambiguation).
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (
July 15,
1606 –
October 4,
1669) is generally considered one of the greatest
painters in
European art history and the most important in
Dutch history. Rembrandt was also a proficient
printmaker and made many
drawings. His contributions to
art came in a period that historians call the
Dutch Golden Age (roughly coinciding with the seventeenth century), in which Dutch world power, political influence, science, commerce, and culture -- particularly
painting -- reached their pinnacle.
"No artist ever combined more delicate skill with more energy and power," states Chambers's Biographical Dictionary. "His treatment of mankind is full of human sympathy" (J.O. Thorne: 1962).
