Rembrant produced about 600 painting including his 50-60 self portraits, he made 300 etchings, and an estmaited amount of about 1,400 drawings. Most of his drawings look unfinished, but he stated a drawing is finished when the artist has fulfulled his intentions.
The greatest painter in all of Northern Europe was the Dutch artist Rembrandt (1606-1669), who drew many great portraits known for their depiction of light and shadow. The increased number of portraits by Rembrandt and others demonstrated the new emphasis on individualism in the Renaissance.
