Nowadays there is no reputable art collection of distinction which does not contain a genuine “Rembrandt”. With Rembrandts portraits, the Dutch artist seemed to directly capture people's souls.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, born in 1606 as a miller’s son, changed the world of painting like no other. But who was this baroque genius Rembrandt who enchanted people through the centuries? His biography is riddled with strokes of fate and family perplexities, and when the art titan Rembrandt died at the age of 63, he was a lonely, impoverished, and misunderstood outlaw.
This documentary traces Rembrandts roots in his Dutch homeland and closely observes one of the greatest research and conservation projects in art history, "Operation Nightwatch" in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
Furthermore, this art documentary sheds light on the events that shaped the life path of the artist Rembrandt. In particular, one of his early masterpieces, "The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Tulp," is highlighted.
It is demonstrated that the artist Rembrandt stood out due to his extraordinary ability to masterfully capture light and shadow in his art, allowing him to depict emotions in an outstanding manner.

The day i left for a trip i read a passage of Carl Jung's synchronicity. That night i lay in my hotel bed and was recommended this documentary. The next day i visited an art gallery and to my surprise i happened upon one of Rembrandt's self portraits. I sat there alone and really took in the painting and i felt lucky to be able to witness the work of a true master of Chiaroscuro.

His technical and compositional prowess as an artist is unrivaled. He had the ability to produce photo-realistic renderings a la the likes of a Vermeer, yet had the wonderful ability to use loose and gestural painting techniques that showcase his style, personality, and artistic abilities all at once.

Read the book titled “ Rembrandts within Rembrandts” I can’t recall the author. He is a medical doctor from Germany. From the early 1900’s (?) . His specialty was sexual transmitted diseases like syphillis - he uses his medical knowledge to say Rembrandt was infected with syphillus. And passed it to Saskia- and caused the death of first 3 kids and of young wife Saskia- Titus died about. Age 21 . This author diagnoses Titus’s syphillus by the portraits Rembrandt paint of Titus as a child. The teeth, the jaws, and his early death. Lover Hendrijka also died young and Rembrandt died age 63 and looked like he was age 90 - his last self portraits show him to be in very poor health for such a young age . SAD BUT TRUE! A book written in Rembrandts time where the author listed all of the Dutch artists - he wrote next to Rembrandts name - and only REMBRANDTS name!” THE MIRACLE OF OUR AGE “ Well said for history’s greatest painter !

Fantastic doc! For the life of me, I can't figure out how such painting effects were created---the glowing light, semi-transparent shadow, such lifelike human faces with perfectly proportioned features, realistic color for every item portrayed, the startling three-dimensionality, the choice of canvas size for each work, etc. Such awesome talent staggers the imagination! The film includes superb recreations of Rembrandt at work as well as other people in his orbit, period-appropriate attire, etc. The man could be cantankerous, no doubt, but what genius doesn't have their personal eccentricities & demons? One aspect of this Dutch artist's greatness is that Rembrandt's drawings & etchings alone are worthy of serious study & appreciation. It's amazing how he captured such recognizably human faces in the mere scratchings of a pen or metal-carving implement. People in that distant time were far more knowledgeable about specific scenes in the Bible, too, & possessed intimate familiarity with mythology, Rembrandt being no exception, 2 fields in which we moderns are almost wholly ignorant.
