While flipping through the pages of an art book I came across this painting called'' Night Watch'' by Rembrandt Harmensz.van Ryn, a famous dutch painter. He was born in Lieden , but he later  succeeded as an artist in Amsterdam. At one point of time he was very rich and he bought an elegant mansion for Rs 13,000 which was a large some in those days. His life was a sad one for two of his children had died  and later his wife Saskia died of tuberculosis. He was also accused of bankruptcy by some. His famous paintings  include the '' Night Watch'' which shows 17th century militiamen standing with a dog in the right and a young girl in the left. It is his most famous painting . Some of his significant painting were "The three crosses ", " The  storm on the sea of Galilee". One of his painting called "Young woman sleeping" was reminiscent of calligraphy with a few brush strokes of ink on paper. He was a very creative artist. Rembrandt died in Amsterdam.
