Rembrandt’s “Storm on the Sea of Galilee” epitomizes his masterly command of dramatic shadow and light which brought the figures he painted to life. Rembrandt’s (1606 – 1669) only seascape, it was painted with a rich palette and bold brushstrokes that characterized the religious and historical paintings that dominated the last 20 years of his life. Technically impeccable, his work was defined by an Rembrandt, who was called the Shakespeare of painting, sensitively explored human nature and convincingly depicted dramatic moments.
Rembrandt (1606 – 1669), was a Baroque artist whose masterful portrayal of complex emotions brought credibility and compassion to his art. Skillfully conveying feeling through gesture, expression, and a supreme command of light and shadow, Rembrandt meteorically rose to fame in his early 20s. His troubled and turbulent personal life, however, was riddled with tragic deaths and financial ruin incurred by his extravagance. Despite these burdens, he possessed a profound understanding of human nature and a brilliant technique which elevated him as an artist to universal significance, and which has immortalized his work.
