Peter Paul Reubens…Flemish • At the Hapsburg Court in Brussels • Emphasized color and sensuality • Sensual nudes

Rembrandt van Rijn • One of the greatest of all of the Baroque artists • BUT does not fit neatly into any one category • An enormous range of scenes throughout his career • Used the extreme light and dark of the Baroque style • More intimate and psychological than most • Used classical restraint
Jan Vermeer • Portrayed ordinary people doing ordinary things
