The Greek Approach | Guided Tour of Bellini, la Tour and Rembrandt at Nationalmuseum in Stockholm

• How these painters work with "flat", vibrant planes
• Rembrandt as a grey/green painter (not brown)
• Rembrandt as "un-Baroque"
• Painting movement
• How Titian, Leonardo, Apelles and Aristotle influenced Rembrandt
• The point of the "Sketch-like" technica macchia
• How one stroke can save the whole form
• Painting things as they appear in your side vision
• The importance of making two different eyes
• Painting light itself
