Rembrandt | Periods, themes and styles

Throughout his career, Rembrandt (1606-1669) took as his primary subjects the themes of portraiture, landscape and narrative painting. For the last, he was especially praised by his contemporaries, who extolled him as a masterly interpreter of biblical stories for his skill in representing emotions and attention to detail.

Stylistically, his paintings progressed from the early "smooth" manner, characterized by fine technique in the portrayal of illusionistic form, to the late "rough" treatment of richly variegated paint surfaces, which allowed for an illusionism of form suggested by the tactile quality of the paint itself.

Nicoletta Tomas was born in Madrid, Spain. A self taught painter, started the artistic career in Valencia (Spain) 1990, using in depth the pastel technique. I concentrated on diferent themes such as indoor motifs, city views and bullfighting scenes. At this time and since 1998 I have given my paintings a new turn, centered on the human body. I am in a constant search for new ways of artistic expresions, both in style and means.
