REMBRANDT BOOKS available from booksmusicfilmstv.com - in association with Amazon.co.uk

Rembrandt is to art what Beethoven is to music, and what William Shakespeare is to literature. He is probably the most famous artist of all-time, and is the most famous person to have ever come out of the Netherlands. Rembrandt was also an artist who was partial to a selfie or many!

Like many artists Rembrandt died in poverty, though, unlike his compatriot Vincent van Gogh, Rembrandt had enjoyed popularity in his lifetime. Rembrandt's popularity waned after the amount of work he produced decreased.

After his death however Rembrandt's work began to be appreciated again. Indeed, he's now so famous that he's usually referred to just by his first name.
