- 5. He achievedyouthful success as a portrait painter His later years were marked by a personal tragedy and his financial hardships He became a painter/printer when the Dutch masters went beyond renaissance to the Dutch baroque movement He also painted at a tome when the Netherlands was breaking free from the European tradition of painting on commission One of his paintings included a flee market for artist to sell their own self- selected projects Portraits were important components to his art work And he has made around 50-60 portraits of himself.
- 6. The personaltragedy that occurred in his life was the death of 3 of 4 of his infant children, and then the death of his wife. Some of his paintings were then more focused on some of his biblical interpretations, some painting on his surrounding and portraits. He is also good at painting emotions in his paintings. Most of his painting have the same color scheme. When he painted his landscapes after his tragedy they became less and less lively and more sober.
- 8. This selfportrait by Rembrandt has a lot of texture. He uses heavy brush strokes and you can see most of the lines he used in different colors, this make him look older and make the texture pop. The sharp detail in the eyes would tend to draw your eyes towards it. The shadows by his neck emphasizes the whole face. Since he is a realistic painter I think that the proportions of the face is the way it would be in reality. The colors for the background are kind of darker than the ones on the face highlighting it. I think that in this picture you can some vulnerability and sadness in his eyes and tiredness in the lines of his face.
- 9. I thinkthat Rembrandt portraits show a depth and realistic aspect to them. As they went older and older you could see more and more the deep sadness in his eyes and you could see the difference in each portrait. In always had an emphasis in the eyes and would draw you to that part because of the details he used.

- 11. WHAT I LEARNT During my research on this artist, I learnt a lot on how your experiences can change you and the tings you do Because of the death of his family, the once lively painter became less lively. Although he still retained many of his great artistic qualities and technique, the depth and emotions in the paintings changed.
