Dutch painter and printmaker Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–69) is considered one of the greatest storytellers in art, unusually gifted in rendering people in various moods and guises. His works suggest an acute and loving attention toward the world around him and a strong understanding of the significant detail—a dual quality that inspired later artists.
