LOS ANGELES -- Before he died 340 years ago, Rembrandt van Rijn lost his house, studio and most of his money. He even sold his wife's grave to pay bills. Since then, he's also been stripped of credit given to him for hundreds of drawings and paintings.
Filmmaker Peter Greenaway made a big impression with his 1989 film The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover, which received international acclaim and a fistful of awards -- as well as controversy due to scenes of torture, nudity, gluttony, and cannibalism -- all in the name of love. Greenaway's previous films include A Zed & Two Noughts (1985), Drowning by Numbers (1988), and Prospero's Books (1991). Born in Wales and educated in London, Greenaway initially studied painting and then turned to filmmaking in 1966. He has written about film and the arts and served as curator for a variety of exhibitions. In the 1990s, he penned a series of 10 opera libretti looking at connecting threads in the deaths of 20th-century composers (including John Lennon). In recent years, he has turned his ...

The New York Times Jack Cardiff, an Oscar-winning British cinematographer and director who drew inspiration from Rembrandt van Rijn's use of light and shadow to convey his visions and those of directors like Alfred Hitchcock, as well as the allure of actresses like Marilyn Monroe, died Wednesday at his home in Ely, England.

A painting by Rembrandt van Rijn was revealed to have an unfinished self portrait of the famous 17th century painter underneath the surface paint through some aid from Brookhaven National Laboratory. The painting, "Old Man with a Beard," which is currently on display in Amsterdam, was previously scanned at BNL using macro- scanning X-Ray fluorescence spectrometry - a newly developed technique which enables large area surfaces to be scanned with high definition and detect pigments in hidden layers of paint.
ALICE C. SABATINI GALLERY, at the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library, 1515 S.W. 10th. * "The Inspired Line: Selected Prints of Albrecht Durer and Rembrandt van Rijn from the Thrivent Financial Collection of Religious Art," closes Monday, Jan. 7.
When a collection that included works signed with names like Pablo Picasso and Rembrandt van Rijn went on display in downtown Boise's Brown's Gallery last year, it got the art world's attention. People are going to scramble for them," said gallery owner Gloria Brown. "There are people who will buy art, regardless," she said. "We'll just give it our best.
Self-portraiture may have been invented by a 13-year-old German boy in 1484. That precocious lad was none other than Albrecht Durer (1471-1528), a super-genius on par with contemporaries Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. The Durer portrait in this show was made by Swiss engraver Francis L.M. Frostier in 1823, but it is a detailed copy of a Christ-like, mature Durer self-portrait painted in 1500. The intensity of Durer's otherworldly stare in the original painting is faithfully preserved in Frostier's likeness. Few artists copy features as slavishly as he did. The 1919 etching "Dying Woman" by German artist Kathe Kollwitz (1867-1945) captures the pessimistic Zeitgeist of post-World War I Germany in the face of a beleaguered, middle-aged woman who seems to be dying on the inside. Kollwi...

Rembrandt van Rijn's mastery over light and dark has been lionized for centuries. In the last 30 or 40 years, though, the Baroque master has been scrutinized unlike any other artist in the history of art, primarily by the Rembrandt Research Project, a group of "art cops" who have roamed the globe "demoting" artworks and reattributing them to other artists.
