Rembrandt • Use of light hallmark of his style • Inspired by Caravaggio but not as “abrupt” • Shows mood of his subjects • Had several self portraits showing him as assertive
Vermeer • Yes, he painted the Girl with the Pearl Earring • Renown for his interiors, middle class dwellings with men, women, children doing household chores • View of his paintings makes us feel like we are peeking or evesdropping • Used the Camera obscura ( a drawing device meaning “dark room”, preceeded the development of the camera)
