http://www.google.com Google’s home page features the Dutch painter’s self portrait with the Google logo engraved on the background to commemorate the artist’s 407th anniversary. Rembrandt van Rijn, also an etcher, is considered as one of the best talents in the European art history. He was known to paint portraits during the early parts of his career. His art pieces included self portraits. However, his signature works gradually incorporated biblical themes. Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn in full was born on July 15, 1606 and died on October 4, 1669. His understanding for the human condition earned him the title of "one of the great prophets of civilization.”
