The day i left for a trip i read a passage of Carl Jung's synchronicity. That night i lay in my hotel bed and was recommended this documentary. The next day i visited an art gallery and to my surprise i happened upon one of Rembrandt's self portraits. I sat there alone and really took in the painting and i felt lucky to be able to witness the work of a true master of Chiaroscuro.
What a wonderful and at the same time frightening documentary about my favorite painter. Thank you for this beautiful journey into and through the life of this extraordinary artist who was so far ahead of his time. Thank you.
His technical and compositional prowess as an artist is unrivaled. He had the ability to produce photo-realistic renderings a la the likes of a Vermeer, yet had the wonderful ability to use loose and gestural painting techniques that showcase his style, personality, and artistic abilities all at once.
The self portraits in age order are absolutely amazing, he looks like such a cool guy & he's talent is outstanding. This documentary is definitely worth watching 😊
Years ago I visited the Art Institute of Chicago. I walked into one room perhaps 30 feet long with 3+ rows of paintings on three walls. I stood in the door awestruck and scanned the 75+ paintings for 10 sec, then walk to get a closer view of my favorite. Portrait signed by Rembrandt. He stands out that much. =
Night Watch shows how powerful time is.When he made it, they didn't like it,they didn't aprove.Nowadays,it is considered one of the best ever!! PS Rembrandt,is my favorite too!!!
Take a look at the brilliant ING flashmob tribute to The Night Watch on the day the Rijksmuseum re-opened after ten years of restoration. It's here on UA-cam.
There are scores of 'greatest' painters. PIcking one above all others, is like being in a field of wildflowers, and picking one flower that's the greatest.
Well, I'm with jadezee6316.No other painter's paintings, have clicked inside me, as much as Rembrandt's paintings have! I don't even have a close 2nd, he's the BEST ever! Da Vinci was more than a painter, he was a genius! However, his paintings do not click in me, like Rembrandt's. Gioconda is hard to beat as a portrait, but I'd rather watch REmbrandt's pieces all day long, trying to descover more abd more in them!! @@brahmburgers
you must remember the vast majority of these paintings like all the greats were sold for only a tiny fraction of their current worth......when they were purchased
Fantastic doc! For the life of me, I can't figure out how such painting effects were created---the glowing light, semi-transparent shadow, such lifelike human faces with perfectly proportioned features, realistic color for every item portrayed, the startling three-dimensionality, the choice of canvas size for each work, etc. Such awesome talent staggers the imagination! The film includes superb recreations of Rembrandt at work as well as other people in his orbit, period-appropriate attire, etc. The man could be cantankerous, no doubt, but what genius doesn't have their personal eccentricities & demons? One aspect of this Dutch artist's greatness is that Rembrandt's drawings & etchings alone are worthy of serious study & appreciation. It's amazing how he captured such recognizably human faces in the mere scratchings of a pen or metal-carving implement. People in that distant time were far more knowledgeable about specific scenes in the Bible, too, & possessed intimate familiarity with mythology, Rembrandt being no exception, 2 fields in which we moderns are almost wholly ignorant.
Its only when you come to see one of his paintings that you can truly realised what an amazing painter he definitely was.Have seen a small collection in Amsterdam of his work,and was completely took over by the use of colour in the form of shadows and light.Thanks for the upload i really enjoyed watching it.
The Great painter " Caravaggio" was the artist that STARTED the Light and Dark concept in painting. And Rembrandt was also great artist but again Caravaggio invented it and Great,,,, an innovator.
Read the book titled “ Rembrandts within Rembrandts” I can’t recall the author. He is a medical doctor from Germany. From the early 1900’s (?) . His specialty was sexual transmitted diseases like syphillis - he uses his medical knowledge to say Rembrandt was infected with syphillus. And passed it to Saskia- and caused the death of first 3 kids and of young wife Saskia- Titus died about. Age 21 . This author diagnoses Titus’s syphillus by the portraits Rembrandt paint of Titus as a child. The teeth, the jaws, and his early death. Lover Hendrijka also died young and Rembrandt died age 63 and looked like he was age 90 - his last self portraits show him to be in very poor health for such a young age . SAD BUT TRUE! A book written in Rembrandts time where the author listed all of the Dutch artists - he wrote next to Rembrandts name - and only REMBRANDTS name!” THE MIRACLE OF OUR AGE “ Well said for history’s greatest painter !
Enough with A.I. "art". Art CANNOT replace the human being! As a working Illustrator, it's destroying my field. It's not an aid, or tool to assist us, it's to REPLACE US!
i mean ai can generate some seriously cool stuff. if you could itd be your stuff showing up on google. no one has a problem finding rembrandt paintings and lived 500 years before computers. im just sayin
I was lucky enough to see the Rembrandts at the ISG before they were stolen. My favourite was a self portrait ink drawing simple but divine - it took my breath away.
Very few will ever know every detail of an artists story as I know all to well just the diffucties of finding the words to speak. Both magnificent and horribly frightening depending on what is known or felt or seen. Struggles and triumphs both are costly.
My son is an artist,he is 14 years old,and Rembrandt is one of his favorite and inspiring artists.My son drew velasquez and Rubens using a pen.My son's dream is to be a Famous painter like Rembrandt.He also Knows a lot artist not just rembrandt or any baroque artists
"Artificial Intelligence" creating "new" Rembrandts? This is obscene, an atrocity! Great art is created through the heart, the soul, of human beings of talent and genius. NOT BY SOME MACHINE!!!! This is just taking things too far. Stop this, and allow us to love the original works by the great masters!
@42:32 there is also a partial face in profile in the cloud formation (possibly his wife) and a pigs head -- both in the upper left quarter of the image.
Im here because like one month ago, my art teacher forced my class to write an essay about an artist, and I picked Rembrandt because I couldn’t find anything else. This was in my recommended so I guess I’ll watch it since…why not honestly lol 😎.
IMO the talk of using AI to "recreate new and beautiful things" is absurd. Machines cannot create what human artists can do; they are not sentient beings as are we. They make copies at best, and ONLY copies. Personally, I could never appreciate or respect a drawing or painting made by a machine.
No1: Rembrandt, No2 Rembrandt, No3 Rembrandt, No4: Rembrandt, No5: Rembrandt! A more realistic approach, is No1 painter: Rembrandt, No1 Artist: Da Vinci. Then it's Michelangelo, then Raphael and so on.
“The return of the prodigal son” is the most moving painting in history. Obviously an objective statement, but it’s a challenge to actually refute imo…
We have a Very classic and uniq hotel called The Rembrant Hotel,,,its telling a story through art deco and style,,,,it is true Rembrant,,,true nd straight forward,,,,,,, Loving from Philippines
I can’t understand the need to simulate a Rembrandt with AI technology. What is the point of such an experiment but to satisfy one’s scientific ego? We have several original Rembrandts to look at. So no, thanks.
This is the second night we've had to open up and air out everything because of the skunk smells wafting through walls, the vents, those nasty vermin. OMG Jamison!!! I'm sure there was something there on that wall yesterday 🤔
As an artist working now fifty years, Rembrandt remains my idol and inspiration.
He is my favorite!
Whoever uploaded this documentary, Thanks mate! Thanks a lot!
I like Rembrandt's honesty in his art. He never flattered himself, his wife, or the others he painted.
Oh brother, stop it
@@Eizengoldt Stop what? And why?
Great enough to afford to not compromise!...
He must have been going like a madman to get those results. I wish I could flow like that quickly.

Good story, well-told. This is what top documentaries look like. Well done, folks!
true. its not a story it’s true though
C'mon @@jaynesegman7847 - you don't expect me to believe that!
Rembrandt...flawless realistic color, like a photograph in oil paint...just amazing!
Excellent video. I feel a kinship with him. Thanks to all who assisted in this fine production.
I have had the chance to see those paintings. They are amazing, so real. They are alive.❤

Ironically the portrait of a young woman at a half door is not by Rembrandt himself but by one of his students in his studio.
All of the people in this documentary are red. Gingers. How and why?
Very well made documentary. Thank you for shedding more mystery to this ground breaking artist.
Thanks so much for painting.
Rembrandt is without question the GREATEST artist who has ever lived...and The Night Watch is the greatest painting ever produced by man
Night Watch shows how powerful time is.When he made it, they didn't like it,they didn't aprove.Nowadays,it is considered one of the best ever!! PS Rembrandt,is my favorite too!!!

For me, Carravagio remains my GOAT, although there are some remarkable similarities between his and Rembrandt's approach to light
Its good that the documentary didn't only portray him as a "good" person.
Can you imagine being so wealthy that you just have two life-sized Rembrandts chilling in your bedroom? Unreal.
No I cannot.
you must remember the vast majority of these paintings like all the greats were sold for only a tiny fraction of their current worth......when they were purchased
@@jadezee6316it was purchased for £116,000,000 from, literally, the richest person on Earth.
Try putting those paintings in a room with large open windows on a busy street in any large American city today😢
Or my bathroom.
Bravo for the immortal Rembrandt 🙏✨Who captured Humanity in their faces 💫
What an awesome documentary! 🙌
and superb lighting in the video scenes
Cutting of that masterpiece to fit through the door is UNFORGIVABLE. They should have cut the door opening!
Or tillted it at an angle. Lol

You must be American. Great schoolsysteem.

Top notch documentary ❤ greetings from the Netherlands!
Brilliant! Mind boggling!! Thank you.
Fascinating! And this documentary is also a fine work of art! We can hope that another is in production. Thabks.
Outstanding. Exceptionally well done.
And done by candle light.... amazing
The work was fantastic and beautiful. The “art critics” were extremely annoying!

This was sooooo good, thank you.
Excellent program.
Wonderful! Thank You (and Rembrandt)
Thanks for the background music. It sounds great !
Great documentary, thanks for sharing, I am truly inspired
As a Rembrandt freak, I am so glad you posted this. Thank you!
I love your passionate expertise.
He was a friend of a family member 400 yrs ago so i love him more than my life or my love is Rembrantdts life. What a sad man.
Enough with A.I. "art". Art CANNOT replace the human being! As a working Illustrator, it's destroying my field. It's not an aid, or tool to assist us, it's to REPLACE US!
Don't worry It will make us artists more valuable..need to create our own society.
Afterall Art is the peak of human intelligence.
I haven't seen anything so far by AI that can rival art done by humans. It all looks soulless.
@@gardeniainbloom812 true
The only place I'm seeing ai art is useless tiktoks, which I don't watch. So don't worry bro, just get off the internet.

AWESOME. INTERESTING! old and enigmatic. thank you. i wonder how awed he’d be at the artistic software and photoshop today!
He might hate and consider it inhuman.
Very nice, beautiful doc! I didn't know some of the things mentioned in the vid, but i really enjoyed it
Well Done.Nice to watch.
Amazing documentary!
Got to see "the Nightwatch" in person 1971 and also van gogh
Once in a lifetime
As great as it gets!
Every single he's masterpiece telling story, and you can imagine what was the story
Very few will ever know every detail of an artists story as I know all to well just the diffucties of finding the words to speak. Both magnificent and horribly frightening depending on what is known or felt or seen. Struggles and triumphs both are costly.
Wow. This was very interesting. Thanks.
I'm a descendant of that master. His self portraits remind me of my father. Good stuff.

Natural talent, no one can learn from books unless he teaches, through it will be tough
He broke all the rules and enjoyed doing it. bravo.
A true genius of arts.
Im here because like one month ago, my art teacher forced my class to write an essay about an artist, and I picked Rembrandt because I couldn’t find anything else. This was in my recommended so I guess I’ll watch it since…why not honestly lol 😎.
very impresive
Outstanding video 😊
Only the Best docs employ actors ❤
Excellent…thanks
Thank you!
He was the master .
Wonderful!
That was excellent!
Did they blur the live actor playing a dead person?
please can some tell me the song or pieces that was used in the video
Are There Any Photographs Of The Missing Pieces ?
excellent presentation
IMO the talk of using AI to "recreate new and beautiful things" is absurd. Machines cannot create what human artists can do; they are not sentient beings as are we. They make copies at best, and ONLY copies. Personally, I could never appreciate or respect a drawing or painting made by a machine.
The Rijks museum has quite the budget! Reminds me of the CSI Miami show; I'd always think Man, how can they afford all that technology.
Much funding come from corporate donations and government subsidies.
38:50 he says '... did not damage the unique etching'. I believe that to be a pen and ink and brush drawing, not an etching.
Thanks for a wonderful documentary. At 18:45, isn't that also Rembrandt, to the left of Jesus, as a small child?
Bravo!
My first art teacher
Are you equating BRUTAL looking with old age? Wow!
Can u do a video about Sandro Botticelli
I love the use of light and shadow in photography one of my favorite things.
Good documentary!
14:03 he doesn't make any concessions to vanity, you mean.
Thanks.... interesting.
Brilliant series, Rembrandt was like Icarus, he flew to close to the sun.
Toffe documentaire!
Lovely❤
I don't know what the AI garbage has to do with anything...
From your prospective who greatest painter of all time or your top five list?
No1: Rembrandt, No2 Rembrandt, No3 Rembrandt, No4: Rembrandt, No5: Rembrandt!
A more realistic approach, is No1 painter: Rembrandt, No1 Artist: Da Vinci. Then it's Michelangelo, then Raphael and so on.
1. Da vinci
2.Rembrandt
3. Carravaggio
4. Bernini
5. Michaelangelo
Thank you & all a Merry Christmas.I used impression painters as teaching tool for guidance make my Flickr page photographs higher status

Which painter was blessed with the most outstanding memory?
Remembrandt !
I got interested with Rembrant becauseof the movie incognito wayback 1997
