On July 15, 1606 - Rembrandt is born in Leyden, Netherlands.

The great Dutch master, Rembrandt van Rijn, was born of lower middle class parents in Leyden, on July 15,1606. His relatively humble origins may help account for the uncommon depth of compassion given to all the subjects of his paintings, including himself. His probing eye caught intensely human subjects, such as his beloved wife Saskia, in masterfully constructed interplays of subtle color, deep shadow, and searching light. Rembrandt prospered when he moved to Amsterdam, but slowly fell out of favor in his later years. Yet economic and personal miseries, including the deaths of his wife and his only child did not affect his mastery in many mediums, including etchings. Many believe such work remains unsurpassed.
