Our lecture asked to sketch this artist in 1 of the lecture and play a classical music while doing the sketch. While sketching, he explained that Baroque period was all about theatre and this artist was a great painter in that period. After I roughly read through his biography I found the most interest part in Rembrandt was his over 90 self portraits that no other artist has left that much of penetrating personal testament. The self portraits record from the beginning of his career in 1620s to the year his death 1669. His record various kind of facial expression using his own face and maybe that is 1 of the strategy to establish his reputation as an artist in public.
