The Goldfinch and the Dutch Golden Age: Remembering Carel Fabritius
You can see Fabritius’ hallmarks in Vermeer’s work: the crumbling plaster, the light and shadow, the startling compositions, the intimacy of scene and his view of Delft.
Rembrandt van Rijn
Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669), born in Leiden, Netherlands, stands as one of the most profound and celebrated figures in Western art history. Known primarily for his portraits and scenes from the Bible, his masterful use of light and shadow, a technique known as chiaroscuro, helped breathe life and emotional depth into his subjects. Rembrandt's works, which include "The Night Watch" and numerous self-portraits, showcase his deep understanding of human emotion, rendered with a rich complexity. His innovative approach to etching and drawing also marked significant contributions to these mediums.
