description: "He painted himself roughly forty times across four decades — an unsparing serial self-interrogation no artist before him attempted at that scale. The Dutch Golden Age's most uncompromising visual storyteller, whose biblical scenes and portraits stripped away decorum to reveal something rawer underneath."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in Leiden in 1606, Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn never left the Netherlands but absorbed the Italian Old Masters from a distance, filtering their influence through a restless Dutch eye. Early success as a portrait painter gave way to a late career marked by personal tragedy and financial ruin — yet his etchings and paintings stayed popular, his reputation held, and for twenty years he taught a generation of Dutch painters. He left behind roughly three hundred paintings, three hundred etchings, and several hundred drawings spanning portraits, landscapes, biblical scenes, mythological subjects, animals, and allegory. He died in Amsterdam in 1669, having turned the conventions of 17th-century Dutch painting inside out.
