What to look for
Rembrandt: deep brown darkness with warm golden light picking out faces; thick, almost sculpted paint in the lit parts, and searching, unflattering self-portraits.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman. He is generally considered one of the greatest visual artists in the history of Western art. Wikipedia
