  1. The Art of Rembrandt 1606-1669

  2. Objective • To scientifically measure Rembrandt’s palette • To find patterns throughout his lifetime • To comment on the life of a great artist

  3. What We Did. . . • scan Rembrandt’s paintings • write a computer program to measure red/green/blue (RGB) values for each pixel in Rembrandt’s paintings • write a computer program to convert the levels of RGB to hue/ saturation/value (HSV)

  4. the early years. . . • The Baroque Period • The later period of the Renaissance (1600-1750) • Dynamic look • Use of strong diagonals • Clashing light and shadows • Rembrandt • Early years of happiness • Saskia • Relative success

  5. the early years. . . Tobit and Anna 1626

  6. the early years. . . First Self-Portrait 1929

  7. the early years. . . Self Portrait in an Oriental Costume with a Dog 1631

  8. the early years. . . Anatomy Lesson with Dr. Tulp 1632

  9. the early years. . . Self Portrait with Saskia 1635

  10. the transition • Known as transitional years • 1640-1648 • Some interesting effects • Winter Scene • Christ at Emmaus • Very end of transition • Softness • Subtler effects • Less contrast in value • Less saturation

  11. the transition. . . Winter Scene 1646

  12. the transition Christ at Emmaus 1648

  13. the later years. . . • the next phase • Movement towards classicism • Maturity • Appreciation of subtleties • Never fully classical • Softer • Inner turbulence • Inner calm

  17. the later years. . . A Late Self-Portrait 1656

  18. the later years. . . The Prodigal Son 1669

  19. Results • Baroque • Dramatic darks/lights • Two peaks in value • Brilliance • Higher mean saturation • Transition • Interesting effects • Classicism • Integrated darks/lights • Dark peak in value • Subtle color • Lower saturation

  20. Results • Consistencies • Warm paintings • Small range of hues • concentration around red • Violet/blue outliers • Low saturation • Subtleties in color • Generally below 60% • Smooth value curve
