Light And Dark In Rembrandt's Works

On the other side of Rembrandt’s works, basically he used the light to create a strong contrast between light and dark in his drawing, painting. The light and dark in his works often go alternate or the light just focus on one direction to catch people attention at the points that he wanted to express. In my opinion, the ways that Rembrandt showed the light and dark in his painting can express a quiet moments, and deeply inside people heart. Whenever I looked at his art works, it can bring me a feeling of sadness, but also strong. After I looked at the light point in his painting, I also pay close attention to the dark side. Even it has a darker side, but Rembrandt still have most of the detail in that areas. Basically, most of Rembrandt’s works were followed by the Feldman’s format. Rembrandt always carefully, clearly show the Feldman’s format in his works like description, analysis, interpretation. The ways he discovering what is in his works, the subject and the color are very catch people attention. Besides that, the ways he analysis his art also very intelligence and organize. I believe most of his works have the meaning, story, and specially emotion behind it. Again, in my opinion, the theme in his panting can expressed
his own feeling, or it can be a meaningful message to the viewers. First of all the reason that I said the theme in his painting can express Rembrandt’s feeling; it is because as we know about his personal life. We can know that even he has to deal with so much trouble in his life, and the financial problem. However, no matter what were going on, he still loves what he was doing it. All of his works can show the viewer how much love he were spending for each of his art works. To me, the reasons he tried to catch the viewers’ attention in his characters’ eyes, it is because eyes are always the place where we cannot hide our emotion. I feel like Rembrandt’s feeling were show up in each of his characters work. It was probably a very strong emotion inside the artist heart. All of his work were wonderful, but also expressed a lot of emotion either as the drawers or the viewers. On the other side, I said that Rembrandt’s painting may include a meaningful message to the viewers, it is because the way that he used the light in most of his work. He was used the light as a direction to catch people’ attention in his point that he wanted to show. However, it also requires the viewers to pay close attention to his art works, especially at the darker side. When I pay close attention at the darker side, than I always find out some interesting thing that people would not see if we just skim over it. The way he used the contrasting colors, the light and dark that he showed in his works, it made me think up the truth of life. Everything in our life always has both side of the situation. Nothing is perfect, and also nothing is impossible. For example, if we want to have a better job, than we have to have the better education. Come back to the Rembrandt particular group that he belong to is self-portraits, landscape, religious works, and still life.
However most of his major work were focus on self- portraits and describe the feeling of the characters’ feeling. Rembrandt was also famous by oil painting and carvings. Rembrandt Van Rijn said “choose only one master- nature” or he also said “I cannot paint the way they want me to paint and they know that too.” Basic on the two quotes that he had said, we can tell that he tried to make his works as naturalistic as he can. He would draw what he saw, the way he feel and understand. He could not paint what people what people expected him to do. To me, that is a reason all of his works considered to be very
significant.
