About Rembrandt & our reproductions
The life
Born the son of a Leiden miller in 1606, Rembrandt van Rijn moved to Amsterdam in his mid-twenties and quickly became the city's most sought-after portraitist. Group commissions such as The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp and the monumental Night Watch made his name, while his marriage to Saskia van Uylenburgh brought him wealth, status and a grand house in the heart of the city.
Fortune later turned: Saskia died young, commissions slowed, and in 1656 Rembrandt was declared insolvent, his collections sold at auction. Yet his late works — The Return of the Prodigal Son, Syndics of the Drapers' Guild and an unflinching series of self-portraits — are his most profound, painted with thick, luminous strokes no artist has ever quite matched.
Our reproductions
Every Rembrandt reproduction at Direct Art Australia is 100% hand-painted in oils on artist canvas by professional artists — never a print. Our painters follow his own method — dark grounds, built-up glazes and thick impasto highlights — so the finished canvas glows with his famous chiaroscuro. You approve photographs of your painting before it ships, and delivery is free Australia-wide.
