Today i'm going to write about Rembrandt.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon Van Rijin was born in july in 1606 in Leiden, Holland, and die in 1669 with 63 years old in Amsterdam, Holland.
He was considerate the major master of period barroque of painting and engraving.
Rembrandt made engraving between 1626 and 1660, but for economics problems, he had sell his workshop of printmaking, only for the hard year 1649, He isn't made any work.
I like a lot the engraving of Rembrandt, because he use the technique of etching for layer, he exposed the plate to the acid repeatedly. He thought his engraving like a painting, this form caused that the engraving had blacks more darks, getting interesting compositions of chiaroscuro.
