Dutch artist Rembrandt Harmensz, whose full birth name was Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, is considered one of the most revered artists in all of history. Rembrandt paintings for sale are very rare, but do come up at private and public auctions on occasion. Pieter Lastman, a mentor of Rembrandt's, helped him master his techniques to do the historical and religious paintings he became famous for.
