Rembrandt lighting:
Named after Rembrandt Van Rijn
1606 - 1669 Dutch painter, draftsman, and etcher of the 17th century,
a giant in the history of art. His paintings are characterized by luxuriant
brushwork, rich color, and a mastery of chiaroscuro. Numerous portraits and
self-portraits exhibit a profound penetration of character. His drawings
constitute a vivid record of contemporary Amsterdam life. The greatest artist
of the Dutch school, he was a master of light and shadow whose paintings,
drawings, and etchings made him a giant in the history of art.
