Obsessive Weekly: Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn

I've actually been obsessing over Rembrandt's etchings and drawings for a while now, but only just decided to post something about him. Now, I'm sure everyone has heard of Rembrandt and his awesome power with a paint brush, but the first things I saw from Rembrandt were his etchings/drawings. We went over a few of Rembrandt's paintings today in my Art History class which is what inspired me to do this post.

Here are my favorite etchings, drawings, and paintings of his:





This last image seriously blows my mind, I wish I could post the slide that Greer showed us, the colors were much more vibrant. Apparently, this painting is what made him interested in Art History, and I can see why!
