Rembrandt’s Imaginative Work - No. 82

Rembrandt was an imaginative painter, an illustrator, with a remarkable ability to bring mood and feeling to every part and the whole. He also loved projecting light effects as much as any impressionist. More pictures and discussion in this follow-up to Talk No. 80..

QUESTION: Could you please comment on a contemporary of Velazquez, Rembrandt (especially given that this year is the 350th anniversary of his death) and any influence he too may have had on the impressionist approach to painting (especially in his later years). I love Rembrandt’s treatment of light and his ability to convey emotion. KATE
