Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn was born in Leiden, Dutch Republic, in 1606. He trained under Pieter Lastman in Amsterdam before establishing his own studio in Leiden, later moving to Amsterdam where he achieved early success as a portraitist. His breakthrough came with works such as The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp (1632).
Rembrandt is celebrated for his masterful use of light and shadow, psychological depth, and a wide range of subjects including portraits, biblical scenes, and landscapes. He worked in oil painting, etching, and drawing, producing an estimated three hundred paintings, three hundred etchings, and several hundred drawings.
In 2026, the Metropolitan Museum of Art announced 'Rembrandt and the Ancients', its first major Rembrandt exhibition in over 20 years, organized with the Musée du Louvre and featuring over 125 works, including 70 by Rembrandt. The exhibition is scheduled for November 2027 to February 2028.
