MY FAVORITE PAINTER
One of my favorite artists is Rembrant is
the greatest Dutch
master, one
of the supreme geneuses in the
history of art. To
this
day the art of Rembrant remains one
of the most
profound
witness of
the progress of the soul in it's
earthly pilgrimage
towards
the realisation of
higher destiny. The
son of the
prosperous miller,
Rembrant was born
in Leiden in 1608. He
studied
at Leiden University, but his real vocation was painting.
His
rapid sugsess promoted him to move to the Amsterdam in 1631.
In 1632 Rembrant bought a splendid house,
started a collection
of paintings and rarities. The universal artist dealt with many
world
subjects. Rembrant created a number of
portraits and some
group
portraits which were traditional to the Dutch art. The best
of
them are "Anatomy lesson of Dr. Tulp" and "The night
watch".
In 1655
Rembrant found himself
in the midst of several
financial
troubles. At that period he painted "The Polish Rider",
which
is an allegory of the man's earthly journey.
Probably in 1669, the
year of his
own death, Rembrant
painted his famous "Return of the Prological
son", which stands
at
the ultimate peak of Cristian spirituality,
illuminating the
relationship
of the self to the eternity.
The biblical theme was very important to
Rembrant. He painted
"Artakserks,
Oman and Eshpir", "The Saint Family".
Rembrant was not understood when he was
alive. He died
in
poverty.
But it is the spirituality of his art that distinguishes
Rembrant
from his Dutch contemporaries making
him the greatest
artist of the world
