I am struck by Rembrandts almost one hundred self-portraits. Of course, all 400 of his works are superb but his self-portraits show the mastery and drama of light and shade. The result is emotional depth which is common in his paintings.
Rembrandt was a prolific painter, draftsman and printer. His work is realistic, and some critics have said that Rembrandt prefers ugliness to beauty because of his dark style.
Rembrandt does not use much color rather he prefers a more theatrical portrayal of his subject matter.
As I love art, I find it is an extension of myself. Whether I created art or own art or admire art like a Rembrandt I find it a rewarding relationship and profoundly fulfilling.
Hail to a great master.
