Analysis of Best Known Rembrandt van Rijn Paintings

-- Lewis L., Toperfect Director

Rembrandt Night Watch
In 1942, a company commander and 16 militia soldiers under his leadership paid 100 shields each to ask Rembrandt van Rijn to paint a group portrait for them. Rembrandt designed a scene supposed that the 16 solders are in command of patrol. They are preparing respectively. This is the origination of his conception in his later art Rembrandt Night Watch, and actually the scene depicted in the picture is in daytime. In this Rembrandt painting, the painter adopted the method of chiaroscuro to shape the figure by light. The abundant layers in the frame made it a masterpiece. When the The Nightwatch was taken back, the solders found it too big to hang in the hall, so they cut the margins off, which broke the original balance. The hall was warmed by burning charcoal, so that the Rembrandt painting was covered by a heavy layer of coal ash and looked gloom. Since the dark appearance made people mistake the scene in daytime for at night, they named it The Night Watch.

Rembrandt painting The Anatomy Lecture of Dr Nicolaes Tulp
Oil painting on canvas, 169.5X216.5cm. Finished in 1632, this painting The Anatomy Lecture of Dr Nicolaes Tulp reveals that Rembrandt has surpassed the ordinary skill of portrait painting prevalent in Amsterdam at that time. Dr Nicolaes Tulp was a surgeon in Amsterdam. This group portrait of Dr Nicolaes Tulp and another seven surgeons made Rembrandt famous at once. The scene in The Anatomy Lecture of Dr Nicolaes Tulp shows a strong contrast in the light and shade.

Through a vivid portray of every figure, Rembrandt van Rijn achieved a combination of the originality and the tension of the frame. The Anatomy Lecture of Dr Nicolaes Tulp broke through the rigid form and pyramid composition of group portrait painting. The vivid depiction in the composition and expression of the figures highlighted the plot and made the Rembrandt portrait painting as meaningful as genre painting.

In 19th century, many Jews began to immigrate to the section where Rembrandt once lived and a Jewish church had already established. Then, it is also found constantly that Jews and Jewish models used in Rembrandt paintings, which further proved such sayings.
