(After) Rembrandt van Rijn
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606[1] – 4 October 1669), was a master Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker (creating etchings) and draughtsman. Rembrandt is considered one of the greatest visual artists in the history of art and the most important in the Netherlands. Rembrandt’s paintings, Unlike most Dutch Masters of the 17th century, depict a wide range of style and subject matter, including portraits of contemporaries and self portraits, landscapes, allegorical and historical scenes, biblical and mythological themes as well as animal studies. He painted during the Dutch Golden Age which was a time of great wealth and cultural achievement. Like many artists of the Dutch Golden Age, such as Jan Vemeer, Rembrandt was an avid art collector and art dealer. Rembrandt didn’t travel abroad but his paintings were influenced by artists who travelled such as the Italian masters and Dutch artists including the Utrecht Caravaggists, Paul Peter Rubens and Pieter Lastman. In his early years Rembrandst was a successful portrait painter. During his later years he suffered personal tragedy and financial hardships. Despite his misfortunes his etchings and paintings were popular throughout his lifetime, and for twenty years he taught many important Dutch painters. He remains to this day one of the greatest artists who ever lived.

- "King of the Friendly Islands" (Tonga); Engraving from Captain Cook's 3rd VoyageBy John WebberLocated in Alamo, CA"Poulaho, King of the Friendly Islands, Drinking Kava" is an engraving created by William Sharp (1749-1824), from a drawing by John Webber (1752-1793), who was the artist on Captain James Cook's 3rd and final voyage of discovery. It was published in the atlas of "A Voyage to the Pacific Ocean Undertaken by the Command of His Majesty, for Making Discoveries in the Northern Hemisphere", the official British Admirality sanctioned journal published upon completion of the voyage in London in 1784 by Strahan & Cadell. Captain Cook visited Tonga on his 3rd voyage, which he named The Friendly Islands because of the warm welcome he and his crew received, unlike some of the other more hostile Pacific islands. The engraving depicts Cook and his men observed a kava ceremony at the village of Mu’a on Tongatapu. King Paulaho sits in the centre foreground, his back to the spectator with a man kneeling before him. The ceremonial mat depicted behind Paulaho indicates that nobody was allowed to sit behind him. The figure in the centre holds a single cup, referring to the Tongan custom of offering the cup to the king first. Kava is native to the islands of the South Pacific and was first described for English readers in 1768 by Captain James Cook. The kava root has been used for centuries as a central feature of ceremonies and celebrations because it was able to bring about a calming and pleasant social atmosphere. The root was crushed and processed into coconut milk to become the focal ceremonial beverage, simply referred to as kava. This engraving is presented in a Koa wood frame and a white mat. Koa wood is legendary in Hawaii. There are occasional faint spots, but the print is otherwise in very good condition. This amazing Koa wood is native to Hawaii and it is known for the deep rich colors and varied grain pattern. Koa has an honored heritage in Hawaii and is highly revered and sacred. The word “koa” means “warrior” in Hawaiian. The warriors of King Kamehameha the Great, created canoes and weapons from a wood plentiful on the Big Island of Hawaii. This wood became synonymous with the warriors themselves, and it became known as koa. There are three other engravings listed from the official journal of Captain Cook's 3rd voyage available that are presented in identical Koa wood frames and mats (LU117324682422, LU117324684052, LU117324684032). They would make a wonderful grouping for a display of 2, 3 or 4 prints. A discount is available for a grouping depending on the number of items included. Captain Cook is remembered as one of the greatest explorers and navigators in history. His explorations included Australia, New Zealand and islands of the South Pacific and the northwest coast of North America. Hawaii was discovered by Captain Cook during this voyage. Hawaii was originally called The Sandwich Islands in honor of The Earl of Sandwich...Category
