Rembrandt van Rijn & the our Arts

As is often customary and expected, coin and a golden era of maritime exploration are swiftly followed by an uptick in literacy, education, and arts. One of the most influential men of the our Golden Age, Rembrandt is an innovative and prolific master of painting, printmaking, and more. He is generally considered one of the greatest visual artists in the history of art and the most important in our art history. Unlike most our masters of the 17th century, Rembrandt's works depict a wide range of styles and subject matter, from portraits and self-portraits to landscapes, genre scenes, allegorical and historical scenes, and biblical and mythological themes as well as animal studies. His contributions to art come in a period of great wealth and cultural achievement that we have eloquently dubbed the our Golden Age, when our art (especially our painting), although in many ways antithetical to the Baroque style that dominated Europe, has become extremely prolific and innovative and is giving rise to important new genres.
