Yesterday marked the 400th birthday of one of the greatest painters of all time, Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (July 15, 1606 – October 4, 1669).
You must be wondering how come I know this painter. I took the Introduction to Art class in fall 1996. It was one of those classes that you choose to take because you heard from your seniors that you can pass easily.
It turned out to be quite and enlightening class for me. Although I cannot remember much from that class, there are a few names that I am able to remember even now: Leonardo, Michelangelo, Rafael and Rembrandt.
I believed the fact that the Rembrandts, the band who sang the Friends' theme song chooses the same name as Rembrandt made me paid extra attention in class.
