                   As Christians we know why a work of art has value. Because a work of art is a work of creativity, and creativity has value because God is the Creator. The first sentence in the Bible declares "In the beginning God created the heaves and the earth".
An art work has value as a creation because human beings are made in the image of God, and therefore we not only can love and feel emotion, but we also have the capacity to create. In fact it is part of the image of God to be creative, or to have creativity. we never find people anywhere in the world or in any culture in the world who do not product art. Creativity is intrinsic to our humanness. (Though the Old Testament forbids the making of "graven images" used in idolatry, it uses art and craftsmen in the making of God's true worship, Exodus 20:4; Exodus 25:18; 2 Chronicles 3:6, 7 etc).
The one that produces great art and the possibility of great art - is that the artists make a work of art, and that then the body of his work reflects his world view. No one, for example, who understands Michelangelo or Leonardo, can look at their work without understanding something of their respective worldviews. However, these artists began by making works of art, and then their worldviews showed through the body of their work.
Rembrandt was influential artist in the 1600’s. He was unique styles of artwork. He equally expressed their love for artwork over the years. Rembrandt was well known for his self-portraits, which he produced and his love for religious work.
Rembrandt strove to give earthly reality to the face of Christ; and, at the same time, no other artist endowed that face with more radiant kindness - particularly in his later paintings. Such works, though radically different from most of so-called Christian art, reveal a true depth of spiritual understanding and emotion. Rembrandt was also a painter of the common people of history and of his time. Because of his profound experience of humanity, he was able to portray his subjects not only as sinful yet repentant, but also as a being created in the likeness of God their Creator. Rembrandt's Christ was endowed with indescribable goodness and purity, the essence of one who would make the ultimate sacrifice in order to secure redemption for humankind.
Rembrandt becomes a pupil of the painter Jacob van Swanenburgh. Jacob van Swanenburgh has turned him into the artist career. They’ve spent around three years, when the young Rembrandt was learning the painting techniques. After that, he’s taken a short and important scholarship at Amsterdam.In 1624; he studies in Amsterdam in the studio of Pieter Lastman, it is true,had devoted no small portion of his work to Biblical subjects.but lastman represents the initial phase of the dutch baroue,which was dependent upon its Italian sources and still favoured historical or biblical subject matter.the following generation rembrant stood almost alone in his large-scale production of biblical work.who will greatly influence his artistic development. Some say it is Last man who illustrates to Rembrandt Caravaggio's use of chiaroscuro – the application of light and darkness to suggest depth.
In considering Rembrandt’s attitude toward the bible we may ask whether his artistic or his is religious. Rembrandt was painted distinctively. His style was exact, precise and unmistakable. Rembrandt was known for sketching his drawings with all his impressions. He predominately used red & black chalk, ink and quill or reed pen; he also used brush and washes. His etchings were made to be extremely realistic for romantic pictures he used primarily oils. Red and yellow colors were used in military scenes. The landscapes were real and romantic. He used almost always etchings and drawings for landscapes.  As he matured his techniques were modified using bold strokes, passages of broken color, and heavy impasto applied with a palette knife. Rembrandt combined pen strokes with brushwork. The early portraits showed impression of activity rather than thought. But as Rembrandt matured he realized that it was more important to focus on the inner state of his subjects rather the external details. As he matured his techniques were modified using bold strokes, passages of broken color, and heavy impasto applied with a palette knife. He also began to scumble areas of his works with his fingers to give them a softer more flowing look. Rembrandt used vivid colors in the beginning of his career, but in the late 1620’s he began using more delicate colors. He used cool colors such as lights blues, yellows, light greens, and olive. He generally used gray backgrounds to accent the colors he was using. The colors he picked to use were utilized to show light and shadows.
After returning to Leiden, Rembrandt sets up shop with his friend Jan Lievens. In 1631 he moves to Amsterdam once again. His talent to read faces wins him many portrait assignments. Her father, a prominent art dealer, secures him even more work.
As in everything he does Rembrandt's biblical work reaches far beyond and above everybody else's when it comes to capturing the decisive moment of a particular episode.
Rembrandt’s life, with its dramatic sequence of success and disaster, offers abundant material to the novelist. The biographer who is inclined to a romantic interpretation will exploit the contrast between worldly exuberance and spiritual introspection which Rembrandt’s work reveals, and will not pass over the painter’s relations with saskia and hendrickje without farreaching conclusions as to his emotional life and the happiness and tragedy in his intimate family circle.
Rembrandt was used was Religion. He was extremely religious person. Religious is the most important to Rembrandt also had the dealing with portraits and figures being life like. The passion of Christ was showed in great number. Rembrandt not only painted scenes of the Holy Family but he enjoyed the Book of Tobit better. The Book of Tobit in his opinion showed more human accents to him. He thought of these stories as soothing and peaceful.
Rembrandt is said to be the most influential and creative Dutch artist of his time.the painting of Rembrandt by A.bredius was first published by phaidon verlag in Vienna in 1935, and has become a ‘classic ‘.the book is not on account of its test-the book has only a brief introduction and some ‘short explanatory notes in same of the pictures’-but because it contains a complete set of reproductions of Rembrandt’s pictures. Remarkable for an art book published at the period. Though the criticism of the bredius rembgrandt was limited, research into the artist’s life and art work did not diminish after 1935.changed, however, is the direction of interest, in accord with the general reorientation of art-historical studies since the Second World War. the Dutch- German leadership has been replaced in Rembrandt studies by an Anglo-American one :iconography has seemed of more interest than connoisseurship; and much thought has been devoted to the history of Rembrandt criticism itself, the  tendency towards iconographic research is, of course, much older, and one only wonder why it affected Dutch art-history so late. The first great show piece work art ,by Dutch art is considered, was Erwin Panofsky’s article Dergefesselte Eros ‘in Oud –HOLLAND in 1933.What Rembrandt has was an excellent religious and mythological painter, just as well as a portrait painter, landscape painter, historical painter, nudes, and scenes of everyday life. He was a highly religious and intellectual man who was hard working. “Some scholars credit him with about 600 paintings, 300 etchings, and 1,400 drawings, though several of his paintings are now attributed o his students.” (The World Book Encyclopaedia 1996) He also made over one hundred self-portraits. Rembrandt had a wide variety of things that were shown in his paintings and drawings. He also did works that had old mean in them, the public and everyday life in them and also portraits of husbands and wives. Rembrandt also painted mythological paintings that included gods and goddess in them. One of his favourite and most devoted to things to paint would be Biblical painting. Some of the figures in his Biblical paintings were those of Christ, disciples, prophets from the old and the new testaments. He also painted landscapes that were romantic and realistic. He was also known for his paintings of war hero's after war and known for his history paintings.  He did portraits of peasants, Dutch Soldiers, Royalty, such as Philip IV, Queen Isabel of Bourbon, the 1st Minister Olivares and young royalty’s. Velazquez also painted human beings, saints, aristocrats, jesters, dwarfs, and gods and goddesses.
If you look same form Old Testament Rembrandt painting nobody knows, like this picture. If you like who this couple are, in fiction or in reality. Rembrandt's painting, traditionally titled "The Jewish Bride",(RIJKSMUSEUM, AMSTERDAM) is now thought to depict a pair of Bible figures from the Old Testament, although there aren't enough clues to identify them. And they're presumably based on a pair of actual 17th century Dutch sitters, posed in the studio, who are equally unknown.
These mysteries hardly matter, though. Whether you take this painting as a legendary character study, or a real life portrait, its emotional subject shines through. It's a picture of troth-plighting, of weddedness.
The two slightly heavy figures make a simple, stable pyramid in the centre of the picture, their rounded forms bathed in gentle light. They have experienced faces. They do not fix one another with a passionate gaze. They think quietly of one another, and hold on to one another. The picture's feeling is invested in their laying on of hands.
His right hand is laid flat over her heart. Her left, answering, rests its fingers on it. The pressure is firm and steady, and his voluminous sleeve holds power. But at the same time their touch is light and tender.This is an image, not of grasping desire, but of mutual support and trust and being sure of your luck an ideal image of married love.
Rembrandt was exceptionally religious person. Rembrandt was dedicated to Biblical paintings. Rembrandt was one of the only people still paintings scriptures in the mid 1640s.
Rembrandt painted 160 Biblical paintings, 80 Biblical etchings and 600+ Biblical drawings. Rembrandt no longer wanted to just show the Biblical stories but he wanted to make other people understand the paintings. He also didn’t want the painting just to be the story he also wanted it to be the people in the story to show and express their feelings. Rembrandt took all of his religious subjects very seriously. It was important to him that all of his artwork was accurate to the original text. He was more into showing Biblical figures in work instead of in the churches. Rembrandt showed no stereotypes in his works. Rembrandt showed mainly the protestant religion. Rembrandt wanted everyone to know how important Christianity was. But sheep will never follow a person they don't know. They will run away from that person, because they don't know his voice." Jesus told the people this story. But the people did not understand what the story meant. John 10:1-21 (ERV)
 The story of Jesus of Nazareth is one that has been told and retold from generation to subsequent generation. So often has it been recounted, that for many its meaning has been obscured. And yet, the story of Jesus is one endued with an undying power to transform; able to soften the most cynical heart, and rekindle the forgotten flame of the spirit.
The event of The Annunciation is a major turning point and relevant to Christians.  In the Old Testament God made a covenant with the children of Israel.  In the New Testament we read about the "New" covenant God brings to all people.  The new covenant, or promise, is about Jesus:  His birth, life, death and resurrection, and how He brings hope to people all over the world. 
For Christians, the event of the The Annunciation is the beginning of that promise fulfilled when Angel Gabriel announces to Mary that she will bear a child and that He will be the Son of God.
 It all begins with an angel's message to a young Jewish girl in the city
To Mary first, came the good news
 The Annunciation of the angel Gabriel to mary.pen and ink,1635 Besancon, muse des beaux-arts (France)
"Blessed are you among women! Rejoice, highly favoured one, the Lord God is with you!" These words were spoken by the angel to Mary. "Do not be afraid," the angel continued, "you have found favour with God. You will give birth to a boy child and you will call his name Jesus. Of his kingdom there will be no end."
Mary was perplexed by the angel's words. But the angel comforted her doubts and said, "God's Spirit will overshadow you, and the holy child that is born from your womb will be called God's Son. With God nothing is truly impossible."
Mary listened carefully to all that the angel had to say. Then she gathered her courage and said the most important words of her life: "Let it be to me according to all of your words."
At the conclusion of the first century B.C., a decree was made by Caesar Augustus; Augustus Caesar was the emperor in power when Jesus was born. when Mary was "heavy with child*"(Jesus). *Soon to give birth*. that all the world should be subjected to a great census. All of the inhabitants of the Roman Empire were forced to comply, and to return to the city or village in which they were born, in order to be registered.
Because Joseph, her betrothed husband, was of the lineage of King David, Mary, too, was forced to leave Nazareth, and even though heavy with child, travel to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem. Upon arrival in Bethlehem, the young couple was dismayed to find that all of the inns and hostels were filled to overflowing. Finally, they consented to sleep behind one of the overcrowded inns, in a shelter that was normally inhabited by animals. And so it was that while they occupied this unlikely place, the days of Mary's pregnancy were accomplished. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him among the straw in the manger.
The Angel appears to the shepherds Pen and brush drawing; c. 1640-42
Hamburg, Kunsthalle, and there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,"Glory to God in the highest,and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about."So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger.When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child,  and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.  The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told. 
Very important artist and teacher inspired Rembrandt. Cararaggio, Adam Elsheimer, and Jan van Goyen inspired Rembrandt. Rembrandt and Velazquez both had similar themes that they used while they were working. The main theme that was used was Religion. They were both two extremely religious people.
Rembrandt paintings initially are rather baroque but after around 1640 they became more austere. The famous Night Watch (1642) may be considered as one of his last truly baroque works. He now concentrates on showing depth of emotions in his figures. This change may be related to tragic events in his personal life: the early death of three of his children, and of Saskia in 1642.In the midst of all this turmoil Rembrandt never stopped working. In 1653 he produced some of his finest prints and paintings, including "The Three Crosses," in drypoint and burin.
In fact, the year 1661 set the high-water mark for his production, painting the large "Conspiracy of Claudius Civilis" for the Amsterdam town hall (which was actually rejected), then the "Sampling Officials of the Drapers' Guild," as well as a series of memorable religious paintings, self portraits and etchings. After his wife's death the painter's volume of work subsided, but its quality and intensity augmened. Holland at the beginning of the 17th century was a hotbed of etching activity. The brothers Esaias and Jan van de Velde were busy creating the Dutch landscape school and other fine printmakers were also active, artists such as Adriaen van Stalbent, Pieter de Molijn and William Buytewech. Foremost among them was Hercules Seghers, whose uncommon creativity profoundly influenced the young Rembrandt, who owned some of Segher's prints and actually reworked some of his plates. "The Flight into Egypt" (1653), for example, is a rework of Segher's "Tobias and the Angel" of the same year.
Were responsible for the international reputation he enjoyed during his lifetime. When in 1660 the great Italian painter Guercino remarked, "I frankly consider him to be a great virtuoso," he was referring to the Dutchman's prints. Rembrandt's day, a print, etching, engraving or woodcut filled a need that today is met jointly by a work of art and a news photograph. It gave them esthetic enjoyment and also satisfied their curiosity about distant places and people; it was, other than the printed word itself, the 17th Century's major means of mass communication. Publishers--and artists themselves--issued and circulated quantities of prints. Some took the form of simple broadsheets; others illustrated books; others reproduced privately owned paintings inaccessible to public view.
Rembrandt, like many other artists, treated subjects that suited each of these faiths, often by crafting versions that cut across confessional boundaries. While his patrons included Calvinists, Remonstrant’s, Catholics and Jews, Rembrandt was not, as far as I know, an active churchgoer himself. His spirituality reveals itself best in his art, arguably the greatest body of work ever produced by a Protestant painter. Like many of his contemporaries, he read the Bible frequently and internalized its lessons. Especially popular among Protestant art buyers were Old Testament themes, such as Samson and Delilah or the prodigal son. Exam, same artist,
Rembrandt / Freud: Freud was one of the world greatest figurative artist who share an ability to expose inner truth about his subject through portrait," Prints and Drawings. There are similar between Rembrandt and Freud are they used the same language and technique. Esther, Sam Sarick and Cararaggio was an Italian artist used lights and darks. Adam Elsheimer German artist same idea but smaller scale painted on copper and painted landscapes. Zurbaran, Murillo, Ribera, and Francisco Pacheco inspired Velazquez. Ribera softens his lighting make less use of strong shadows and to brighten his backgrounds. He also put much detail into his paintings to make sure the pictures looked life like. He made the skin of people come to life.
In the 16th, 17th, 18th century, religion painting was commune and passionate by different artist, because, Christianity is the one true religion.  That may sound awfully dogmatic and narrow-minded, but the simple truth is that Christianity is the only true religion.  Jesus said that He alone was the way to the Father (John 14:6), that He alone revealed the Father (Matt. 11:27; Luke 10:22).  Christians do not go around saying Christianity is the only way because they are arrogant, narrow-minded, stupid, and judgmental.  They do so because they believe what Jesus said.  They believe in Jesus, who claimed to be God (John 8:58; Exodus 3:14), who forgave sins (Mark 2:5; Luke 5:20; 7:48), and who rose from the dead (Luke 24:24-29; John 2:19f).  Jesus said that He was the only way.  Jesus is unique.  He was either telling the truth, He was crazy, or He was a liar.  But since everyone agrees that Jesus was a good man, how then could He be both good and crazy, or good and a liar? He had to be telling the truth.  He is the only way.
Christianity is not just a religion; it is a relationship with God.  It is a trusting in Jesus and what He did on the cross (1 Cor. 15:1-4), not on what you can do for yourself (Ephesians 2:8-9). 1880s remarkable happen; the greatest Arts James Jacques Joseph Tissot experienced a religious revelation which led him to spend the rest of his life illustrating the Bible. 1896 to make studies of the landscape and people. His series of 365 gouache illustrations showing the life of Christ. before being bought by the Brooklyn Museum in 1900.They were published in a French edition in 1896–7 and in an English one in 1897-8. James jacques spent the last years of his life working on paintings of subjects from the Old Testament (Jewish Museum, New York).
Rembrandt had very in depth analyzed of how he painted. He was Religion as their main his. Rembrandt painted some multiple self-portraits. He was very similar when's it came to religion. He was very dedicated to their religions, Rembrandt was a Protestant, very religious figures. He was important inspiration in their life that really impacted to him threw out the years of their work. Throughout his life, Rembrandt created many illustrations of biblical themes. In this book, Rembrandt's inspiring paintings are placed with the corresponding stories of Jesus' life. The beautiful full-color paintings and pen-and-ink drawings bring the events recorded in the Scripture to life in Rembrandt's elegant style.
1631 Rembrandt moved from leyden and set up his studio in Amsterdam.this same year he began work on the young Christ in the temple,thus beginning a long and remarkable study of the life of Christ by arguably the world’s greatest painter.
Rembrandt did not, however, casually assume his pursuit of depicting the life and work of Jesus of Nazareth. During his time, much of the world of art surrounded the church and involved service to the Bishops and priests, as it was supported by the wealth of the organized church. Rembrandt, it seems, deplored this form or pandering to a church that was more concerned with physical adornment than it was with spiritual beauty. Skeptical of religious art, he kept somewhat of a distance from such patrons and commissions. Gradually, however, he began to explore his own relationship to the teachings and message of Christ through his  paintings. Rambrandt’s religious subjects may begin with juxtaposition of two examples of the PRESENTATION IN THE TEMPLE.the earlier one, belonging to the museum in hamburg(fig 156),is dated about 1628,and is still close to lastman’s style. Rembrandt hus expandts the scene and enlivens it by many accessories,he does not fail to concentrate the interest in the central group of the .this group is clearly articuled by the variety of postures and by accents in light and colour.a subdued coolness and delicacy chracterizesthe colour harmony.
 The other, in the hague,dated 1631(155)represents rembrandt’s work in leyden,when he broke away from his teacher’s influense.rembrandt’s freedom in the respect increasd as he grew older.in the these early scenes of the ‘Presentation’he adheres closely to the story  as told in luke 2:22-38.  Mary and Joseph take the baby Jesus to Jerusalem "to present him to the Lord" -Luke 2:22-38.we see simeon,who has just taken the child,thanking God for this sacred moment,and we see the prophetess Hannah,who also recognizes the significance of the event.
The presentation of Jesus in the temple is in fulfillment with the Jewish law.Every male child must be taken to the temple and an animal must be offered as a sacrifice.That is why Joseph is usually artistically depicted in this scene holding a cage with two doves in it.The prophet Simeon and the prophetess Anna meet the Holy Family while at the temple in Jerusalem. Simeon was told by God that he would see the Savior before he died.When Simeon sees baby Jesus he takes him from Mary and holds Him in his arms and praises God proclaiming, "Now thou dost dismiss thy servant, O Lord, according to thy word in peace; Because my eyes have seen thy salvation" -Luke 2:29 Simeon then blesses Mary and Joseph and prophesies to Mary:
"Behold this child is set for the fall, and for the resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be contradicted; And thy own soul a sword shall pierce, that, out of many hearts, thoughts may be revealed." -Luke 34-35
Even though this is a joyful occasion you can see in the words of Simeon a fore shadow of the sorrows that will be shared between Jesus and his Mother Mary. Anna also proclaims that this child, the baby Jesus, is the long awaited Messiah.After all this the Holy Family leaves Jerusalem and returns to Nazareth.There they live in peace and joy for many years before Jesus begins His public life.
Many writers, in attempting to describe the nature of Rembrandt's genius. Roger Fry in The Arts of Painting and Sculpture says that Rembrandt has a unique place in the history of European art because 'he united in his spirit a dramatic and psychological imagination. 'No artist before Rembrandt has researched and understood the human soul and so movingly and convincingly.
Having seen Jesus crucified, are walking to a village called Emmaus, seven miles from Jerusalem. Their faces are downcast. Jesus comes and walks with them but they do not recognise him. They talk together about what has just happened in Jerusalem and how disappointed they are that Jesus hadn't freed Israel from Roman occupation. As they approach the village Jesus acts as if he is going further. But they urged him strongly, ‘Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.' So he went in to stay with them. When he was at table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognised him, and he disappeared from their sight. Luke 24:13-35.Paper on panel,39x42 cm. pairs, muse Jacquemart-Andre.(Br.539)."
The picture suggests clearly to us that wonderful moment at Emmaus. The painting shows the moment the two men finally realize who has been talking to them all day: their deceased teacher. When the eyes of the disciples were opened, and they recognized their guest as Jesus, whom they had so recently seen crucified. The table is laid in a great bare room with the commonest furnishings, and the disciples appear to be laboring men, accustomed to "plain living and high thinking." They are coarsely dressed, and their feet are bare, as are also the feet of Jesus. One seems to have grasped the situation more quickly than the other, for he folds his hands together, reverently gazing directly into the face of Jesus. His companion, an older man, at the other end of the table, looks up astonished and mystified. The boy who is bringing food to the table is busy with his task, and does not notice any change in Jesus. The man on the right is generally believed to be Peter because of the pilgrim's shell on his clothes, in which case the man on the left is Cleophas - the only one mentioned in by name in Luke's version.
In the midst is Christ, "pale, emaciated, sitting facing us, breaking the bread as on the evening of the Last Supper, in his pilgrim robe, with his blackened lips, on which the torture has left its traces, his great brown eyes soft, widely opened, and raised towards heaven, with his cold nimbus, a sort of phosphorescence around him which envelops him in an indefinable glory, and that inexplicable look of a breathing human being who certainly has passed through death."
What is one thing that everyone can relate to no matter who you are, or what culture you live in, or what your current state of life is? Regardless of the trials, difficulties, and troubles you may now be experiencing, regardless of the doubt and anxiety, regardless of the loneliness, pain, and suffering, everyone understands and appreciates the value of friendship.
Almost everyone has had a best friend sometime in their life. The nice thing about them is that they care about you unconditionally. Yet as good as your previous friendships have been, they were not perfect. This one is different! You may not know it now, but the best friend you have ever had is already a part of your life!
