Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn was born at his father's mill near Leiden in the Netherlands in 1606. He was sent to the university when he was fourteen but soon left to become a painter. After an apprenticeship in Leiden and Amsterdam, he began to paint portrait painter in the city.
Three years later he married an heiress, Saskia van Uylenburgh. The successful young couple lived well and happily together for eight years, although only one of their children. Remdrandt had many commissions, culminating in his famous painting of the Civic Guard, The Night Watch.
However, in the same year, 1642, Saskia died. Some time afterwards a servant, Handrickje Stoffels, became his mistress, and she eventually gave birth to a daughter, Cornelia.
Rembrandt always lived expensively and eventually the cost of a large house he had bought led to his going bankrupt. He was not poor in his old age, since Hendrickje and Titus formed a company to sell his work, but the last period of his life was saddened by their deaths before he died himself in 1669.
Rembrandt's art passed through several phases. He learnt from his first teacher in Amsterdam, Lastman, how to use composition and the effects of light to create a dramatic atmosphere. In the middle of his career, he changed his style; it became quieter and more classical and then progressively more powerful as he grew older. Today he is most admired as portrait painter, both for the portraits of his fashionable period in Amsterdam in the 1630s and the studies of his great final phase, when his most effective subject was himself (Музей онлайн [Электронный ресурс].
