Rembrandts La Petite Tombe
According to some philosophers "La Petite Tombe" would most probably be considered a great work of art, this is my opinion too. Rembrandt is one of very few painters known around the world and valued as an addition to human history. Praised by the art world long time ago and until today. It also considers Rembrandt's work as great, professional, expressive and impressive. However its' greatness can be analyzed and criticized, which I will try to do in this paper. Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Riju was born July 15, 1606 in the town of Leiden, Netherlands. One of the seven children he was the only one who received Higher Education, all of his siblings went into trade. Leiden was a University town with favorable education atmosphere. Upon graduating from the Leiden high school where students primarily learned Latin, and "true religion" (Calvinistic Protestantism) Rembrandt enrolled into a Leiden University, which by 1620s was internationally renowned. Not very eager for education he pretty soon became an apprentice of Jacob Isaacszoon Swandenburgh, and showed promise in painting, so his father found it good to apprentice him and to take him to the renowned painter P. Listman, residing in Amsterdam so that he might advance himself an
The darker faces are in a kind of confusion about the content, these people have to reflect a little bit more for themselves to understand Jesus fully. Therefore the implied lines of all the people around Jesus are also converging lines that all have a focal point in the center of the etching: Jesus Christ. The subject here is a gathering of common people around Jesus Christ, who is preaching "the remission of sins, an event that does not occur in the Gospels, but which played an important part in the Mennouite doctrine". This era would probably be more favored by Tolstoy then by Plato. All these positive impressions were generated only by the artist's mastery of contrasting the shades. Even if we were to explain them to Plato, a person for whom the whole other concept of religion is a basis for understanding reality, still he would not accept it as a replica of a real life, since for him there is no such god as the one accepted by Christians. The last important use of lines on this etching is the use of implied lines. Tolstoy's criteria for judging art are infectiousness of the presentation, and religious context. Another important aspect for closely analyzing a work of art is the line.
