Rembrandt Was Born In 1606 In Leiden, Holland . Before His 30th Birthday, The Name Rembrandt Had Become Synonymous With Artistic Excellence. The Dutch Master Was Known Worldwide For His Highly Prized Series Of Classical Etchings. These Images Are Known For Their Delicacy Of Tone And Intricacy Of Detail. To Raise Funds In 1657, Rembrandt Sold The Plates At An Auction Of His Entire Estate To A Prestigious European Family With The Expressed Stipulation That Not Even One Of The Etchings Could Be Printed Until A Full 100 Years Had Passed After His Death. The Family Faithfully Honored The Binding Agreement. Owing To Their Great Popularity And Soft Metallurgical Consistency, The Original Plates Became Worn By The Mid 1800's.
