“I can't paint the way they want me to paint and they know that too. Of course you will say that I ought to be practical and ought to try and paint the way they want me to paint. Well, I will tell you a secret. I have tried and I have tried very hard, but I can't do it. I just can't do it! And that is why I am just a little crazy.”

“Rembrandt fu maestro quanto Rubens o Velázquez nel rendere la brillante preziosità delle superfici. Usò meno di loro i colori accesi: a una prima occhiata molte sue pitture sembrano tutte di una tonalità marrone cupo, ma sono proprio i toni scuri a far risaltare con maggior forza, per contrasto, alcuni colori accesi e splendenti. (Ernst Gombrich)”
