Carel Fabritius (1622-1654) is not
nearly as well-known as his famous instructor Rembrandt, which is a shame
because Fabritius was arguably Rembrandt’s most talented pupil and someone we’d
be better acquainted with if tragedy hadn’t claimed the painter at the age of
thirty-two.Read about it (here).
Makes you wonder how many legends were lost to tragedy before their time
ReplyDeletewow. how tragic...and what a way to have life cut short as well...makes me think of all the artists these days cut short as well and imagining what they could have done....
