  • The Leiden Collection Catalogue, 2Nd Ed
    Rembrandt van Rijn (Leiden 1606 – 1669 Amsterdam) How to cite Bakker, Piet. “Rembrandt van Rijn” (2017). In The Leiden Collection Catalogue, 2nd ed. Edited by Arthur K. Wheelock Jr. New York, 2017–20. https://theleidencollection.com/artists/rembrandt-van-rijn/ (archived June 2020). A PDF of every version of this biography is available in this Online Catalogue's Archive, and the Archive is managed by a permanent URL. New versions are added only when a substantive change to the narrative occurs. According to Rembrandt’s first biographer, Jan Jansz. Orlers (1570–1646), the most famous Dutch painter of the seventeenth century was born in Leiden on 15 July 1606, the ninth child of the miller Harmen Gerritsz van Rijn (1568–1630) and the baker’s daughter Neeltje Willemsdr van Suydtbrouck (ca. 1568–1640).[1] The painter grew up in the Weddesteeg, across from his father’s mill. He attended the Latin school in Leiden, and his parents enrolled him in the University of Leiden when he was fourteen, “so that upon reaching adulthood he could use his knowledge for the service of his city and the benefit of the community at large.”[2] This, however, did not come to pass, for Rembrandt’s ambitions lay elsewhere, “his natural inclination being for painting and drawing only.”[3] His parents took him out of school in 1621, allowing him to follow his passion. They apprenticed him to Jacob Isaacsz van Swanenburgh (1571–1638), who had just returned from Italy, “with whom he stayed for about three years.”[4] It is during this time that Rembrandt probably painted his earliest known works: Stone Operation (Allegory of Touch), Three Musicians (Allegory of Hearing), and Unconscious Patient (Allegory of Smell).[5] Rembrandt moved to Amsterdam in 1625 to complete his training with the leading painter of his day, Pieter Lastman (1583–1633), with whom, according to Arnold Houbraken, he stayed for six months.”[6] When Rembrandt returned to Leiden, he set up his own workshop in his parents’ house.

  • Rembrandt in Southern California Exhibition Guide
    An online exhibition exploring paintings by Rembrandt in Southern California. A collaboration between The Exhibition Rembrandt in Southern California is a virtual exhibition of paintings by Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn (Dutch, 1606–1669) on view in Southern California museums. This collaborative presentation offers a unique guide to exploring these significant holdings and provides information, suggested connections, and points of comparison for each work. Southern California is home to the third-largest assemblage of Rembrandt paintings in the United States, with notable strength in works from the artist’s dynamic early career in Leiden and Amsterdam. Beginning with J. Paul Getty’s enthusiastic 1938 purchase of Portrait of Marten Looten (given to LACMA in 1953; no. 9 in the Virtual Exhibition), the paintings have been collected over 80 years and are today housed in five museums, four of which were forged from private collections: the Hammer Museum, the J. Paul Getty Museum, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in Los Angeles; the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena; and the Timken Museum of Art in San Diego. In addition, Rembrandt in Southern California provides insight into the rich holdings of etchings and drawings on paper by the master in museums throughout the region. Together, Southern California’s drawn, etched and painted works attest to the remarkable range of Rembrandt’s achievement across his long career. Self-Portrait (detail), about 1636–38. Oil on panel, 24 7/8 x 19 7/8 in. (63.2 x 50.5 cm). The Norton Simon Foundation, Pasadena, F.1969.18.P 1 NO.

  • Rembrandt Self Portraits
    Rembrandt Self Portraits Born to a family of millers in Leiden, Rembrandt left university at 14 to pursue a career as an artist. The decision turned out to be a good one since after serving his apprenticeship in Amsterdam he was singled out by Constantijn Huygens, the most influential patron in Holland. In 1634 he married Saskia van Uylenburgh. In 1649, following Saskia's death from tuberculosis, Hendrickje Stoffels entered Rembrandt's household and six years later they had a son. Rembrandt's success in his early years was as a portrait painter to the rich denizens of Amsterdam at a time when the city was being transformed from a small nondescript port into the The Night Watch 1642 economic capital of the world. His Rembrandt painted the large painting The Militia Company of Captain Frans Banning Cocq historical and religious paintings also between 1640 and 1642.

His merchant father, Teunis Govaertsz Flinck, was clearly prosperous, because in 1625 he was appointed steward of Kleve, a position reserved for men of stature.[1] That Flinck would become a painter was not apparent in his early years; in fact, according to Arnold Houbraken, the odds were against his pursuit of that interest. Teunis considered such a career unseemly and apprenticed his son to a cloth merchant. Flinck, however, never stopped drawing, and a fortunate incident changed his fate. According to Houbraken, “Lambert Jacobsz, [a] Mennonite, or Baptist teacher of Leeuwarden in Friesland, came to preach in Kleve and visit his fellow believers in the area.”[2] Lambert Jacobsz (ca. 1598–1636) was also a famous Mennonite painter, and he persuaded Flinck’s father that the artist’s profession was a respectable one. Around 1629, Govaert accompanied Lambert to Leeuwarden to train as a painter.[3] In Lambert’s workshop Flinck met the slightly older Jacob Adriaensz Backer (1608–51), with whom he became lifelong friends.

  • Evolution and Ambition in the Career of Jan Lievens (1607-1674)
    ABSTRACT Title: EVOLUTION AND AMBITION IN THE CAREER OF JAN LIEVENS (1607-1674) Lloyd DeWitt, Ph.D., 2006 Directed By: Prof. Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr. Department of Art History and Archaeology The Dutch artist Jan Lievens (1607-1674) was viewed by his contemporaries as one of the most important artists of his age. Ambitious and self-confident, Lievens assimilated leading trends from Haarlem, Utrecht and Antwerp into a bold and monumental style that he refined during the late 1620s through close artistic interaction with Rembrandt van Rijn in Leiden, climaxing in a competition for a court commission. Lievens’s early Job on the Dung Heap and Raising of Lazarus demonstrate his careful adaptation of style and iconography to both theological and political conditions of his time. This much-discussed phase of Lievens’s life came to an end in 1631when Rembrandt left Leiden. Around 1631-1632 Lievens was transformed by his encounter with Anthony van Dyck, and his ambition to be a court artist led him to follow Van Dyck to London in the spring of 1632. His output of independent works in London was modest and entirely connected to Van Dyck and the English court, thus Lievens almost certainly worked in Van Dyck’s studio. In 1635, Lievens moved to Antwerp and returned to history painting, executing commissions for the Jesuits, and he also broadened his artistic vocabulary by mastering woodcut prints and landscape paintings. After a short and successful stay in Leiden in 1639, Lievens moved to Amsterdam permanently in 1644, and from 1648 until the end of his career was engaged in a string of important and prestigious civic and princely commissions in which he continued to demonstrate his aptitude for adapting to and assimilating the most current style of his day to his own somber monumentality.

Their making usually reflects a determination on the part of the director or star to see the artist as an alter-ego. Many of them were adaptations of successful literary works, which tempted financial backers by having a ready-made audience based on a pre-established reputation. The sub-genre’s development is explored via the grouping of films with associated themes and the use of case studies.

  • "LUCCA MORTIS", NEW FILM for PETER GREENAWAY from 24 to 30 June the London Director Returns to Lucca Holding a Workshop on His Next Movie
    "Lucca Experientia Artis and the Lucca Film Festival together for International Artistic Residences." "LUCCA MORTIS", NEW FILM FOR PETER GREENAWAY From 24 to 30 June the London director returns to Lucca holding a workshop on his next movie. (Lucca), 6 May - The new screenplay by Peter Greenaway is entitled "Lucca Mortis" and is the focus of the training course created by the director together with LEA - Lucca Experientia Artis, in collaboration with Lucca Film Festival - Europa Cinema. The idea of "Lucca Mortis" was born in 2013 as an evolution of the architectural cinema installation "The Towers / Lucca Hubris", created by Greenaway with the choreography of the dancer and author Roberto Castello and realized in Piazza San Francesco by the festival and the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Lucca. After six years, thanks to the synergy between the art director of LEA Domenico Raimondi and the director Cristina Puccinelli, Greenaway returns to Lucca with a residential workshop open to 20 creative people in love with the seventh art. From 24 to 30 June, six days in close contact with the London director to closely study the stages of work that will lead to the realization of the movie: ranging from a screenplay that takes shape in the symbolic places of the city, which he himself defines a real "natural set", to the characters based on people who actually have lived and on the protagonists of Puccinian operas. Not only movie-lab activities, but also moments of conviviality to discover the inner creative imagination of Greenaway's genius in a Lucca that is the inspiring muse and film set full of charm and history.
