tamburina: Rembrandt, Artemisia (Detail of Nautilus), 1634 “He [Rembrandt] worked in complex layers, building up a picture from the back to the front with delicate glazes that allowed light actually to permeate his backgrounds and reflect off the white under painting, and generously applied body colors which mimicked the effect of solid bodies in space. Never before had a painter taken such a purely sensuous interest and delight in the physical qualities of his medium, nor granted it a greater measure of independence from the image.” – From “Techniques of the Great Masters of Art”
