I had no idea it was a mural-sized painting. He is my favorite of the “Old Masters”. Rembrandt understood the mechanics of using color like very few painters!

What made Rembrandt's colors so effective was his stunning use of light and shadow. Much of his work relied on the use of chiaroscuro, a single-source lighting effect that creates drama and a sense of depth through the use of contrast. In more modern times, Edward Hopper (among my favorites) used similar techniques.
