Rembrandt (1606-69), the master of light and shadow, is
the great artist of the Dutch school. In his Self-Portraits
Rembrandts use of light is clearly to be seen. In the
earliest portrait of 1928 light is more important then the
face. In the portrait one year later Rembrandt uses his
famous light from above.
Light is the focus of many Dutch artists. Painters as
Rembrandt, Vermeer, Jongkind, Dibbets etc. are famous for
their use of light. The beautiful Dutch light influences the
way many Dutch artists work. Awareness of light is the
subject of my own work. See Joost van Santen Daylight Art in
Architecture.
