Comparing two very different masters Rembrandt and Picasso

In our last article of the Hermitage museum of St. Petersburg, we would like to share some pictures of very different painters, both masters in their own style. Rembrandt was mainly a Baroque portrait painter and Pablo Picasso who lived 3 centuries later was into Cubism. Both styles are fantastic but what do you prefer? Although we live in The Netherlands and have visited the Rembrandt House, I think my preference goes out the these paintings of Picasso.

In ons laatste Hermitage Museum artikel in St. Petersburg willen we enkele foto’s delen van heel verschillende kunstenaars, beide meesters in hun eigen stijl. Rembrandt was hoofdzakelijk een Barok portretschilder en Pablo Picasso die 3 eeuwen later leefde beoefende het Kubisme. Beide stromingen zijn fantastisch maar naar welke meester gaat jouw voorkeur uit? Alhoewel we in Nederland leven en het Rembrandthuis hebben bezocht, denk ik dat onze voorkeur naar deze schilderijen van Picasso uitgaat..

    Two great artists that are in style and era difficult to compare. Nevertheless, we find the images of Picasso also niceer because they may better fit into our modern world.
    Best regards and thank you for the beautiful paintings.

    Such different styles it is difficult to say, but I think Picasso has the edge.

    Ik verbaas me wel eens dat er meer Rembrandts in het buitenland hangen dan in Nederland. In New York hangen er ook zo veel. Kiezen doe ik niet, ieder heeft zijn eigen kwaliteiten.

    definately I prefer Rembrandt. It just seems to me when someone can replicate what they see so accurately with a brush, that THAT is great talent. My favourite here is Flora.

    Het zijn twee heel verschillende stijlen.
    Rembrandt werkte veel met licht en schaduw en
    fotografisch.
    Ze zijn allemaal prettig om naar te kijken.
    Moeilijk hoor.....
    Picasso modern en tijdloos.
    Kies toch voor Picasso ,)

    Filip, je hebt ons mooi door de Hermitage gegids, dank je wel. Rembrandt of Picassa. Ik vind de schilderijen vasn Rembrandt wel mooi, maar zou nooit eetnje aan de muur willen hebben, een Picasso wel. Hiermee is je vraag beantwoord en mijn keuze gemaakt. Fijne dag, Dietmut

    While I can appreciate Rembrandt's skill, I find more life, colour and movement in the Picassos. But I can't decide a preference - they're just different, that's all!
