Rembrandt Paintings, Bio, Ideas. Summary of Rembrandt van Rijn An intense psychological study of people, objects, and their surroundings coupled with an earnest Christian devotion fueled Rembrandt's life and work. Incredibly gifted as an artist from a very young age, he became a master of portraits of all types, historical, biblical, and mythological scenes, as well as simple, charming but dramatic landscapes. He used many types of materials and techniques with unusual sensitivity and spontaneity to develop his message.

His approaches to composition, color usage, and shadow were everchanging to produce the most powerfully moving but most natural moments of human existence. Accomplishments Rembrandt was renowned for his outstanding ability to not only depict very natural, realistic human figures but even more importantly, to portray deep human feelings, imperfections and morality.
