About Rembrandt
关于伦勃朗
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn was a Dutch painter and etcher。 He is generally considered one of the greatest painters and printmakers in European art history and the most important in Dutch history。 His contributions to art came in a period that historians call the Dutch Golden Age。
Having achieved youthful success as a portrait painter， his later years were marked by personal tragedy and financial hardships。 Yet his etchings and paintings were popular throughout his lifetime， his reputation as an artist remained high， and for twenty years he taught many important Dutch painters。 Rembrandt’s greatest creative triumphs are exemplified especially in his portraits of his contemporaries， self－portraits and illustrations of scenes from the Bible。 His self－portraits form a unique and intimate biography， in which the artist surveyed himself without vanity and with the utmost sincerity。
In his paintings and prints he exhibited knowledge of classical iconography， which he molded to fit the requirements of his own experience； thus， the depiction of a biblical scene was informed by Rembrandt’s knowledge of the specific text， his assimilation of classical composition， and his observations of Amsterdam’s Jewish population。 Because of his empathy for the human condition， he has been called “one of the great prophets of civilization。”
伦勃朗一生留下600多幅油画，300多幅蚀版画和2000多幅素描，几乎画了100多幅自画像，而且几乎他所有的家人都在他的画中出现过。
伦勃朗在绘画史——不独是荷兰的而是全欧的绘画史上所占的地位，是与意大利文艺复兴诸巨匠不相上下的。他所代表的是北欧的民族性与民族天才。造成伦勃朗伟大的，是表现他的特殊心魂的一种特殊技术。光暗，这名词，一经用来谈到这位画家时，便具有一种特别的意义。换言之，伦勃朗的光暗和文艺复兴期意大利作家的光暗是含着截然不同的作用的。法国19世纪画家兼批评家弗罗芒坦称他为“夜光虫”，又有人说他以黑暗来绘成光明。 卢浮宫中藏有他的两幅被认为代表作的画《木匠家庭》《以马忤斯的晚餐》，我们正可以把它们用来了解伦氏式的“光暗”的真迹。
