I've stood within inches of paintingsof his...in several different museums. Such detail, no brushstrokes showing.
The Night Watch 1642
one of 40 Self Portraits, 1652
I posted this a few other places, like my clay blog, and face book...it's worth sharing, isn't it? And I found one of my favorite flute players is a descendent of his!
