Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606–1669) is one of the most famous,[1][2] controversial, and best expertly researched (visual) artists in history.[3][4]

His life and art have long attracted the attention of multidisciplinary scholarship such as

globalization studies,[8][9] and art market research. In Rembrandt scholar Stephanie Dickey's words:

[Rembrandt] earned international renown as a painter, printmaker, teacher, and art collector while never leaving the Dutch Republic. In his home city of Leiden and in Amsterdam, where he worked for nearly forty years, he mentored generations of other painters and produced a body of work that has never ceased to attract admiration, critique, and interpretation. (...) Rembrandt's art is a key component in any study of the Dutch Golden Age, and his membership in the canon of artistic genius is well established, but he is also a figure whose significance transcends specialist interest. Literary critics have pondered "Rembrandt" as a "cultural text"; novelists, playwrights, and filmmakers have romanticized his life, and in popular culture, his name has become synonymous with excellence for products and services, ranging from toothpaste to self-help advice."[4]

For a visual artist in general and an

Netherlandish art (or art of the pre-1830 Low Countries) history.[3][10] In the history of the reception and interpretation of Rembrandt's art, the great 'rediscovery' of the Dutch master in 19th-century France and Germany decisively helped in establishing his lasting fame in subsequent centuries.[11][12]

    lives in this world, with a vast network of simple and sociable friendships and correspondences. But for certain determinate strata of the bourgeoisie the sweetness of the cultured and sedate life is accompanied, without any contradiction, by an association with a capitalist power ('potestas'), expressed in very mature terms. This is the condition of a Dutch bourgeois man. We could say the same thing for the other genius of that age, Rembrandt van Rijn. On his canvases the power of light is concentrated with intensity on the figures of a bourgeois world in terrific expansion. It is a prosaic but very powerful society, which makes poetry without knowing it because it has the force to do so."
