614_Rembrandt
Today's topic is Rembrandt.
15th July was Rembrandt's birthday.
I don't think there's an illustrator who's as good as a Titian or a Rembrandt... but then, Rembrandt was a bit of an illustrator on the quiet, you know?
~ Quentin Blake
Rembrandt is so deeply mysterious that he says things for which there are no words in any language. Rembrandt is truly called a magician... that's not an easy calling.
~ Vincent van Gogh, letter to Theo van Gogh
He can blend, like no one else, reality with mystery, the bestial with the divine, the most subtle and powerful craftsmanship with the greatest, the loneliest depths of feeling that painting has ever expressed.
~ Paul Valéry,
Happy Drawing! :)
