    What makes Rembrandt such a good painter? Well, there is a lot I could say about that. For this video, I focus on just one aspect of his work to show you just how good he was.
    This portrait of Johannes Wtenbogaert is just one of dozens he made in the 1630s, but it is of a man who was portrayed by several other artists as well. So it is a good example of a portrait that we can compare to other painters.
    In this video, I give you some background information on both Rembrandt and Wtenbogaert to show you just how brilliant this portrait really is and what a genius Rembrandt was.

    jAnother excellent video, you have a wonderful way of describing and analysing paintings and sculpture that makes understanding art accessible. I would be very interested in coming to the Rijksmuseum this spring and it would great if I could book you to show me round!!

      Thanks! And I would love to show you around. Not just the Rijksmuseum, by the way. Any museum or old city works for me

    I love the way Rembrandt captures expression. I bet you could do a great video about The Night Watch.

      Wow! I am jealous. I haven't had the chance to go to Madrid for much to long now. But if you come to the Netherlands, I would love to show you around. not just the Rijksmuseum, by the way. Any museum or old city centre works for me

    Hi Karel, will you tell me please where you got the information about Rembrandt's drinking too much? I hadn't heard that before but am very interested to find out if it is true. Thanks. (By the way, are you aware that your name doesn't appear anywhere here on your UA-cam channel?)

    Interesting, too, what you say about the hands being painted by an assistant, because they strike me as particularly good--although there was nothing wrong with the way the master painted hands, he treated them generally more summarily even in the early paintings. Do you know which of his students might have been responsible?

      No, we have no idea. they just seem to be by a different hand

    regarding Prins Maurits - while the essence of religion should be humility - unfortunate examples of arrogance seem to stand out - gods' works are great - mine are greater
