Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn is hes full name . rembrandt was born on July 15, 1606. Hes a dutch painter , he sadly died on october 4, 1669 hes on of the most famous painters in dutch history. His family was quite well-to-do; his father was a miller and his mother was a baker's daughter. As a boy he attended latin school and was enrolled at the university of leiden.At the end of 1631, Rembrandt moved to Amsterdam  rapidly expanding as the new business capital of the Netherlands, and began to practice as a professional portraitist for the first time. In the late 1640s, Rembrandt began a relationship with the much younger Hendrickje stoffels, who had initially been his maid. In 1654 they had a daughter, Cornelia, bringing Hendrickje a summons from the Reformed church to answer the charge "that she had committed the acts of a whore with Rembrandt the painter". She admitted this and was banned from receiving communion. Rembrandt was not summoned to appear for the Church council because he was not a member of the Reformed Church. The two were considered legally wed under common law, but Rembrandt had not married Henrickje, so as not to lose access to a trust set up for Titus in his mother's will. Rembrandt lived beyond his means, buying art (including bidding up his own work) often used in his paintings. i think that hes a really good painter just like carravaggio was in his time . i recomend people know about this artist .
