4. REMBRANDT
HARMENSZOON VAN RIJN
(1606-1669)
Rembrandt was a brilliant Dutch realist,
painter and etcher. He is generally
considered as one of the greatest painters
and printmakers in European art. He
followed no particular faith, but was
interested in spiritual values and often
chooses religious subjects. Rembrandt
shares with Rubens the revolution
whereby painting came to depict the more
personal aspects of the painter: his own
home and his family. No artist has painted
himself as often as did Rembrandt.

5. His concept of himself
continued to deepen in grasp
and subtlety, while his
technique grew more daring.
His well- known work was his
“Self portrait in Old Age”.
Rembrandt had produced
over 600 paintings, nearly
400 etchings, and 2000
drawings.

6. DIEGO VELASQUEZ
(1599- 1660)
Velasquez of Spain developed out of
the Baroque. He was one of the finest
masters of composition and one of the
most important painters of the
Spanish Golden Age. He worked out
solutions to pictorial problems of
design that transcend the style of any
period. Velasquez was the case of a
painter who discovered his avocation
almost at the very start of his career.
The passion for still life frequently
emerges in Velasquez’s art.

7. His famous works were: The Surrender of Breda, Las Meninas (The
maids of honour), Los Barachos (The Drinker), and Maria Theresa
