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
