Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606-1669). Dutch painter considered one of the greatest painters of all time, who particularly affected the history of art. Already during his lifetime, he achieved great renown - he painted famous contemporaries and taught dozens of outstanding painters. He often painted biblical themes (for example, Storm at Sea of ​​Galilee or observations of the Jewish community in Amsterdam). His most famous and popular work is Night Watch - the military retinue of Captain Frans Banning. The painting was named by its discoverer Sir Joshua Reynolds for its dark colour (the picture is, in fact, full of daylight). Another of his beautiful paintings is worth mentioning: Return of the Prodigal Son.
