Julia Wonders, “
Who was Rembrandt?” Thanks for WONDERing with us, Julia!
If you’ve been WONDERing with us for a while, you may have read about several famous artists. Maybe you know all about Frida Kahlo, Maya Angelou, or Leonardo da Vinci. Today’s Wonder of the day is about another name you might recognize Rembrandt!
Who was Rembrandt? This famous artist was born in the Netherlands in 1606. His full name was Rembrandt van Rijn, but today, we remember him by his first name.
As a kid, Rembrandt attended the Latin School in his hometown of Leiden. Later, he started at the University of Leiden at the age of 14. However, his desire to create art eventually led him down a different path. Rembrandt left the university to learn to paint. He first studied with Jacob Isaacsz van Swanenburgh in Leiden and later with Pieter Lastman in Amsterdam.
