Excerpt from Catalogue of the Collection of Pictures by the Old Masters and of the Early English Schools and Mihaly Munkacsy: Compiled From the Latest Biographies, Encyclopedias and Museum Catalogues Willems van Suyddtbrock, was the daughter of a baker. Loving art more than books his father allowed him totake up that study and he was apprenticed for three years to Jakob Isaacz van Swanenburch, a painter who lived in Leyden, after this he had six months of study under Pieter Lastman. 1627 is the date of his earliest signed work. In 1630 he moved to Amsterdam where the rest of his life was spent, for he was no traveller, never going out of his own country and only visiting a few places in that. His first wife was Saskia v'an Uilenburg and his portraits of her are among his finest works. Late in. Life for his second wife he married Hendrickie Stoffels, a woman who had been a servant in his family. At his home in Amsterdam he had collected many valuable Italian and Dutch paintings besides armor, porcelain, etc., here he had his studio and numerous pupils. Saskia died in 1642 and he and his son Titus continued to live in the same house until 1656, when both house and contents wereforced to be sold to satisfy his creditors, and he, for the rest of his life, was obliged to live in comparative poverty. Rembrandt was a master of Chiaroscuro and in this he has never been surpassed. His etchings are almost as celebrated as his paintings.
