- Nowadays there is no reputable art collection of distinction which does not contain a genuine “Rembrandt”. With Rembrandts portraits, the Dutch artist seemed to directly capture people's souls.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, born in 1606 as a miller’s son, changed the world of painting like no other. But who was this baroque genius Rembrandt who enchanted people through the centuries? His biography is riddled with strokes of fate and family perplexities, and when the art titan Rembrandt died at the age of 63, he was a lonely, impoverished, and misunderstood outlaw.
This documentary traces Rembrandts roots in his Dutch homeland and closely observes one of the greatest research and conservation projects in art history, "Operation Nightwatch" in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
Furthermore, this art documentary sheds light on the events that shaped the life path of the artist Rembrandt. In particular, one of his early masterpieces, "The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Tulp," is highlighted.
It is demonstrated that the artist Rembrandt stood out due to his extraordinary ability to masterfully capture light and shadow in his art, allowing him to depict emotions in an outstanding manner.

The day i left for a trip i read a passage of Carl Jung's synchronicity. That night i lay in my hotel bed and was recommended this documentary. The next day i visited an art gallery and to my surprise i happened upon one of Rembrandt's self portraits. I sat there alone and really took in the painting and i felt lucky to be able to witness the work of a true master of Chiaroscuro.
I like Rembrandt's honesty in his art. He never flattered himself, his wife, or the others he painted.
Oh brother, stop it
@@Eizengoldt Stop what? And why?
Great enough to afford to not compromise!...
He must have been going like a madman to get those results. I wish I could flow like that quickly.
As an artist working now fifty years, Rembrandt remains my idol and inspiration.
Whoever uploaded this documentary, Thanks mate! Thanks a lot!
Can you imagine being so wealthy that you just have two life-sized Rembrandts chilling in your bedroom? Unreal.
No I cannot.
you must remember the vast majority of these paintings like all the greats were sold for only a tiny fraction of their current worth......when they were purchased
@@jadezee6316it was purchased for £116,000,000 from, literally, the richest person on Earth.
Try putting those paintings in a room with large open windows on a busy street in any large American city today😢
Or my bathroom.
Years ago I visited the Art Institute of Chicago. I walked into one room perhaps 30 feet long with 3+ rows of paintings on three walls. I stood in the door awestruck and scanned the 75+ paintings for 10 sec, then walk to get a closer view of my favorite. Portrait signed by Rembrandt. He stands out that much.

Ironically the portrait of a young woman at a half door is not by Rembrandt himself but by one of his students in his studio.
All of the people in this documentary are red. Gingers. How and why?
His technical and compositional prowess as an artist is unrivaled. He had the ability to produce photo-realistic renderings a la the likes of a Vermeer, yet had the wonderful ability to use loose and gestural painting techniques that showcase his style, personality, and artistic abilities all at once.
Good story, well-told. This is what top documentaries look like. Well done, folks!
true. its not a story it’s true though
C'mon @@jaynesegman7847 - you don't expect me to believe that!
Love me that Rembrandt. His pictures of the Holy Family and the Resurrection are extraordinary...he is the most human painter.
The Great painter " Caravaggio" was the artist that STARTED the Light and Dark concept in painting. And Rembrandt was also great artist but again Caravaggio invented it and Great,,,, an innovator.
The self portraits in age order are absolutely amazing, he looks like such a cool guy & he's talent is outstanding.
This documentary is definitely worth watching 😊
Rembrandt...flawless realistic color, like a photograph in oil paint...just amazing!
And done by candle light.... amazing
Bravo for the immortal Rembrandt 🙏✨Who captured Humanity in their faces 💫
Its good that the documentary didn't only portray him as a "good" person.
Thanks so much for painting.
Rembrandt is without question the GREATEST artist who has ever lived...and The Night Watch is the greatest painting ever produced by man
Night Watch shows how powerful time is.When he made it, they didn't like it,they didn't aprove.Nowadays,it is considered one of the best ever!! PS Rembrandt,is my favorite too!!!
Take a look at the brilliant ING flashmob tribute to The Night Watch on the day the Rijksmuseum re-opened after ten years of restoration. It's here on CZcams.
There are scores of 'greatest' painters. PIcking one above all others, is like being in a field of wildflowers, and picking one flower that's the greatest.
Well, I'm with jadezee6316.No other painter's paintings, have clicked inside me, as much as Rembrandt's paintings have! I don't even have a close 2nd, he's the BEST ever! Da Vinci was more than a painter, he was a genius! However, his paintings do not click in me, like Rembrandt's. Gioconda is hard to beat as a portrait, but I'd rather watch REmbrandt's pieces all day long, trying to descover more abd more in them!! @@brahmburgers
For me, Carravagio remains my GOAT, although there are some remarkable similarities between his and Rembrandt's approach to light
Excellent video. I feel a kinship with him. Thanks to all who assisted in this fine production.
and superb lighting in the video scenes
Cutting of that masterpiece to fit through the door is UNFORGIVABLE. They should have cut the door opening!
Very well made documentary. Thank you for shedding more mystery to this ground breaking artist.
My wife didn't know who Rembrandt was, so we watched this together. We loved it, great work!
You must be American. Great schoolsysteem.
@@AlexHol-yo6mn public foolsystem.
@@AlexHol-yo6mn
Well you evenly might say "Dutch schoolsystem" .
All around the Western globalist world education has declined....
@@AlexHol-yo6mn Yes!
YT deleted the comment. Jesus! They said: 'American school system'
Read the book titled “ Rembrandts within Rembrandts” I can’t recall the author. He is a medical doctor from Germany. From the early 1900’s (?) . His specialty was sexual transmitted diseases like syphillis - he uses his medical knowledge to say Rembrandt was infected with syphillus. And passed it to Saskia- and caused the death of first 3 kids and of young wife Saskia- Titus died about. Age 21 . This author diagnoses Titus’s syphillus by the portraits Rembrandt paint of Titus as a child. The teeth, the jaws, and his early death. Lover Hendrijka also died young and Rembrandt died age 63 and looked like he was age 90 - his last self portraits show him to be in very poor health for such a young age . SAD BUT TRUE! A book written in Rembrandts time where the author listed all of the Dutch artists - he wrote next to Rembrandts name - and only
REMBRANDTS name!” THE MIRACLE OF OUR AGE “
Well said for history’s greatest painter !
Top notch documentary ❤ greetings from the Netherlands!
He was a friend of a family member 400 yrs ago so i love him more than my life or my love is Rembrantdts life. What a sad man.
What an awesome documentary! 🙌
Outstanding. Exceptionally well done.
Im here because like one month ago, my art teacher forced my class to write an essay about an artist, and I picked Rembrandt because I couldn’t find anything else. This was in my recommended so I guess I’ll watch it since…why not honestly lol 😎.
Brilliant! Mind boggling!! Thank you.
The work was fantastic and beautiful. The “art critics” were extremely annoying!
Wonderful I really enjoyed it Thank you
Wonderful! Thank You (and Rembrandt)
Excellent program.
As a Rembrandt freak, I am so glad you posted this. Thank you!
Good documentary, thanks!
Very few will ever know every detail of an artists story as I know all to well just the diffucties of finding the words to speak. Both magnificent and horribly frightening depending on what is known or felt or seen. Struggles and triumphs both are costly.
Thanks for the background music. It sounds great !
Great documentary, thanks for sharing, I am truly inspired
Enough with A.I. "art". Art CANNOT replace the human being! As a working Illustrator, it's destroying my field. It's not an aid, or tool to assist us, it's to REPLACE US!
Don't worry It will make us artists more valuable..need to create our own society.
Afterall Art is the peak of human intelligence.
I haven't seen anything so far by AI that can rival art done by humans. It all looks soulless.
@@gardeniainbloom812 true
The only place I'm seeing ai art is useless tiktoks, which I don't watch. So don't worry bro, just get off the internet.
i mean ai can generate some seriously cool stuff. if you could itd be your stuff showing up on google. no one has a problem finding rembrandt paintings and lived 500 years before computers. im just sayin
As great as it gets!
He was the master .
Amazing documentary!
Thank you!
Well Done.Nice to watch.
Fascinating! And this documentary is also a fine work of art! We can hope that another is in production. Thabks.
That was excellent!
Wonderful!
Excellent…thanks
Very nice, beautiful doc! I didn't know some of the things mentioned in the vid, but i really enjoyed it
Every single he's masterpiece telling story, and you can imagine what was the story
very impresive
AWESOME. INTERESTING! old and enigmatic. thank you. i wonder how awed he’d be at the artistic software and photoshop today!
He might hate and consider it inhuman.
Great documentary.
Outstanding video 😊
He broke all the rules and enjoyed doing it. bravo.
Bravo!
A true genius of arts.
excellent presentation
My first art teacher
Only the Best docs employ actors ❤
Thanks.... interesting.
love it
Lovely❤
Brilliant series, Rembrandt was like Icarus, he flew to close to the sun.
Toffe documentaire!
The Rijks museum has quite the budget! Reminds me of the CSI Miami show; I'd always think Man, how can they afford all that technology.
He was Rembrandt......not much else I can say!
"Artificial Intelligence" creating "new" Rembrandts? This is obscene, an atrocity! Great art is created through the heart, the soul, of human beings of talent and genius. NOT BY SOME MACHINE!!!! This is just taking things too far. Stop this, and allow us to love the original works by the great masters!
I totally agree!
As an artist, I COMPLETELY agree! I detest A.I. " art" . It's utterly disgusting And disturbing.
@FROMlefttoRightasdfghjkl And I'm not a "dude".
@@susanmercurio1060 Me too!
We have a Very classic and uniq hotel called The Rembrant Hotel,,,its telling a story through art deco and style,,,,it is true Rembrant,,,true nd straight forward,,,,,,,
Loving from Philippines

Are you equating BRUTAL looking with old age? Wow!
“The return of the prodigal son” is the most moving painting in history.
Obviously an objective statement, but it’s a challenge to actually refute imo…
Which painter was blessed with the most outstanding memory?
Remembrandt !
Clever light use to draw the viewer into Rembrandt.
If you liked this you should watch Peter Greenaway's "Nightwatching"
What an artist, just merveilleus, worth of be influenced by Caravaggio
Perhaps what is attracting the thieves is not the artwork itself but something contained within the work
"Once you go full hyper-dimensional dihectapentacontahexagon, you never go back."
---Albert Einstein
If you're a Bob Ross fan, you'll know he wanted us to go crazy about half way through any given painting. I'm almost certain he said something like this while beating the devil out of a two inch monster. Are you sure it was Einstein?
This is the second night we've had to open up and air out everything because of the skunk smells wafting through walls, the vents, those nasty vermin. OMG Jamison!!! I'm sure there was something there on that wall yesterday 🤔
Rembrandt is one of the greatest painters of all time. Too bad they had to ruin the documentary by blocking out the most innocent subject matters!
IMO the talk of using AI to "recreate new and beautiful things" is absurd. Machines cannot create what human artists can do; they are not sentient beings as are we. They make copies at best, and ONLY copies. Personally, I could never appreciate or respect a drawing or painting made by a machine.
@42:32 there is also a partial face in profile in the cloud formation (possibly his wife) and a pigs head -- both in the upper left quarter of the image.
Man seems to strive for his technology to surpass his humanity, but it should be the other way around.
Are There Any Photographs Of The Missing Pieces ?
Be kind of painted similar to studio lighting and filters but real people it's interesting
38:50 he says '... did not damage the unique etching'. I believe that to be a pen and ink and brush drawing, not an etching.
Did they blur the live actor playing a dead person?
Rembrandt who? Rembrandt Van Rijn!!!
Thank you! Wonderful! How awful that algorhythms have been trained to invent new works in his style. Dreadful news.
I agree!
The greatest master of light and shadow was Carravagio!
Tenebrism
❤❤❤❤❤❤
The master of light and shadow painter and embodies Baroque painting to me is still Carravagio.
Rembrandt is another master.
16:22 👌🏾
I don’t want to listen to people talk about what he was thinking and feeling. How can they know this? It is speculatory. I want to hear about his techniques, his methods. What was life in that period like? His life. No, I did not listen to the whole video. A few minutes in and I made this post and departed, so maybe that was eventually covered.
The techniques were covered. Why not go back in patience.
typically we look at diaries and letters, either his own words or from people around him. these are called primary sources.
You missed out.
Who was this God who walked amongst us mere mortals???
Ah, the envy of the Germans. Priceless!
48:38 Yes, sir. You are.
Feeling happier now?
Sickening - ai is the death Nell of art.
14:03 he doesn't make any concessions to vanity, you mean.
👍👍👍
