First break down of Rembrandt! This one is more complicated that Sargent. Rembrandt especially in the early stages of his life, painted with a « classical lighting ». By that I mean that the shadows were very dark and flat, whereas the halftones and the lights had way more details. This is because during that time, there was no artificial light, all they had was natural light, with some candles. So their rooms were very dark. I recommend watching the movie, Barry london. #oilpainting…
