(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.

- Royal Palm With Turkish DesignBy David Smith-HarrisonLocated in Palm Springs, CASigned, titled artist proof. Edition of 135. Royal Palm with Turkish Design maintains the interplay between the twodimensionality of the architectural rendering and the modeled line work of the palm. The addition of a subtle fade of sky-like blue in the upper left-hand corner works with the atmospheric marks to further emphasize the illusion of volume in the palm. Conversely, by bordering the upper half of the print with a pattern from an early Ottoman brocade, Smith-Harrison reminds us that we are not to take a representation of three dimensions as realism. The small medallion in the lower center of the print, although it also is taken from an Ottoman brocade, doubles as an architectural element. The shape resembles the glyph-like mark used to represent a palm tree in plan view drawings. The ornate, curvilinear large medallion is the third of the Ottoman elements. Placed in the lower left of the print, both the shape and the etching in deep reds and blues create an allusion to a polychrome roundel. Both the shape and the placement provide balance to the colonnade and the angular rendering in the center of the right side of the print. David Smith-Harrison studied at Utah State University and served as studio assistant to Adrian Van Stuchelen and Moishe Smith. In 1983 he traveled in Europe and studied at the Art and Design Faculty of South Glamorgan Institute in Cardiff, Wales. Before leaving for Europe, Smith-Harrison began an intense professional association as a studio assistant to artist Trevor Southey. Smith-Harrison’s imagery is distinctive for its meticulous and studied execution and rigorous, demanding craftsmanship. The results are generally rich in subtle articulations and poetic spirit. His work is located in private collection in Japan, Taiwan, Republic of China, Spain and the United States.
