Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn


Bathsheba at Her Bath
1654
Oil on canvas, 142 x 142 cm
Musée du Louvre, Paris

Dutch painter (1606 - 1669).
He soon left University of Leiden to study art in Amsterdam, with Pieter Lastman, known for his historical paintings.
After six months, having mastered everything he had been taught, Rembrandt returned to Leiden, where he was soon so highly regarded that although barely 22 years old, he took his first pupils.
