More Amsterdam historic information
Rembrandt portrayed a very creative and original style in his artwork. In his paintings, Rembrandt expressed himself. He put feeling into his artwork. When you look at his artwork, you can tell what his mood was. When he uses dark colors, usually the circumstance in sadness, but when he uses light colors, happiness is expressed.
