Rembrandt Religious Influence

By 1631, Rembrandt had established such a good reputation that he received several assignments for portraits from Amsterdam. As a result, he moved to that city and into the house of an art dealer, Hendrick van Uylenburgh. This move eventually led, in 1634, to the marriage of Rembrandt and Hendrick's greatniece, Saskia van Uylenburg. This was obviously a marriage for love. Although she came from a good family (her father had been burgomaster of Leeuwarden), Saskia was an orphan and was probably not very wealthy. She lived with her sister in Frisia and did not have many 'grand' connections in Amsterdam. These events, however, are widely disputed.

Kleiner writes in the textbook, “As many as 500 ships a day passed through Antwerp’s harbor and large trading companies from England, The Hold Roman Empire, Italy, Portugal, and Spain established themselves in the city” (288). This tells us that there were a lot of people from other countries and places coming through the Netherlands port. These people brought their own influences to the art culture in the Netherlands. Just as the need for grace and painting of religious figures was important in the Netherlands, it was also prominent in these other

Johannes Vermeer (1632 –1675) was born in Delft, Holland in October 1632 into the Calvanist tradition, during the Dutch Golden Age. He was introduced to the world of art, particularly painting, by his father. His father owned a tavern, frequented by artists and dealers and by the time his father died in 1652, the twenty year old Vermeer was left with much debt but also a great enthusiasm for art. Considered too young to be an artist by the Dutch Guild, he would need another six years apprenticeship to one or more masters.

Born on the 30th of March 1853 in Groot-Zundert, Netherlands to his father Theodorus van Gogh, who was an austere country minister and mother Anna Cornelia Carbentus, who was a moody artist whose love for nature, drawing and water colours had been passed down to her son. Van Gogh’s art was notable for beauty, emotion and colour, at the age of 15 his family began suffering financially which meant he had to leave school and start working, he worked at his Uncle’s art dealership. In June of 1873 van Gogh was transferred to Groupil gallery in London and fell in love with the English culture and became

Brabant is a region of the Netherlands that is close to the Belgian border. His parents are Theodorus van Gogh Sr. and Anna Cornelia Carbentus. His father was a pastor in the Dutch Reformed Community. One year prior to Vincent van Gogh’s birth his mother had delivered a still born, who was the first Vincent Willem van Gogh. It is hinted at by a lot of psychologist that Vincent might have felt like a “replacement child”. Vincent had five siblings: two brothers, Theodorus and Cornelius Vincent; and three sisters, Anna Cornelia, Elisabeth Huberta, and Willemina Jacoba. The youngest sister would suffer from the same mental illnesses that Vincent did later in her life. Most of the recorded history that we have of Vincent is from the letters sent between him and Theo, so there is not much information readily available on his early childhood. We do have a memoir from his sister Elizabeth that said that “Vincent was a serious, sensitive boy who preferred solitude to the companionship of family and friends and loved flowers, birds, and insects. He was a good student, but his choice of clothing and his eating habits and solitary nature made him appear slightly strange to others from a young

art that were emotional, dramatic, and included real people as the primary subjects. Rembrandt showed all of this in his work. Rembrandt was influenced by nature, religion, the Bible, and humanity. His paintings showed his moods and feelings towards all of these. He would study people, especially members of his family, including himself to use as the basis for his work. He created over two thousand works of art including; ninety self-portraits, sixty paintings, and the rest

Marital fidelity. Love. Parental devotion. Whimsically, he roamed the gallery, stopping at the portrait his niece had been looking at earlier. The frame held a self-portrait of the artist himself. Rembrandt’s withered, tired old face looked back at him nonchalantly against a fading canvas. His burgundy robes were dull and faded, and the man thought he had never seen something quite so deadening. He read the caption beside the portrait. This self-portrait was Rembrandt’s last work before his death in 1669, a year after Titus. After Titus?

The present work is focused on undertaking an in-depth analysis of two famous religious paintings: The Virgin and Child by Barnaba da Modena, an Italian painter from the fourteenth century, and The Elevation of the Cross by Peter Paul Rubens, a seventeenth century Flemish artist and diplomat. Following, by comparison, a thorough account of the two works' features, careful observation reveals more than one interpretation.

Rembrandt was a great artist and a man of many talents; he could draw, etch and paint many different genres transitioning between them with great ease. He also suffered many hardships in his life, the death of all his children and his wives who perished before he did, as well as going financially bankrupt. Despite hard times, Rembrandt kept doing what he loved and used those experiences to explore the inner psychology of his subjects. The Wedding Feast of Samson and The Conspiracy of the Batavians Under Claudius Civilis were painted numerous years apart and are a reflection of what the artist was going through.

Religion heavily influenced his style because of his Catholic beliefs, and a majority of his works express

Rembrandt van Rijn was born on July 15, 1606 in Leiden, Netherlands. He came from a large family where he was the ninth child. His father was a miller and saw to it that Rembrandt had an excellent education. Rembrandt began attending the University of Leiden, but really wanted to study art. Eventually he left school to become an apprentice to the artist Jacob van Swanenburgh. He also was a student of the painter Pieter Lastman.

During the 17th century, especially after their break from Spain, The United Provinces of the Netherlands became the most prosperous nation in Europe by leading the world in trade, science, and art. Through the huge and one of the first art markets, art became a common household possession and allowed artists to freely express themselves, which is one of the evidential factors in three of the most universally admired artists of the baroque art era. Rubens, an influential Flemish artist of the Italian baroque scene, focused more on the works of the counter-reformation while the masters of the Dutch baroque art, such as Rembrandt, were in the heart of the protestant Dutch Republic. These three artists share similar artistic styles but yet have extremely evident differences and influences. The artists’ work also have a great portrayal of the historical and social impacts of the 17th century.
