On July 15, 1606 - Rembrandt i born in Leyden, Netherland.
The great Dutch mater, Rembrandt van Rijn, wa born of lower middle cla parent in Leyden, on July 15,1606. Hi relatively humble origin may help account for the uncommon depth of compaion given to all the ubject of hi painting, including himelf. Hi probing eye caught intenely human ubject, uch a hi beloved wife Sakia, in materfully contructed interplay of ubtle color, deep hadow,
and earching light. Rembrandt propered when he moved to Amterdam, but lowly fell out of favor in hi later year. Yet economic and peronal mierie, including the death of hi wife and hi only child did not affect hi matery in many medium, including etching. Many believe uch work remain unurpaed.
