Dutch Masters: Rembrandt Oil Painting Style版本v1.0 (ID: 1213506) 综合资源合集综合资源合集

This is the 2nd Rembrandt LoRA, which compliments my earlier Rembrandt Etching Style LoRA. This LoRA was trained mostly with Rembrandt's later period oil painting portraits. His famous large scale works such as The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp (1632) and The Night Watch (1642) were not used. The Jewish Bride (c. 1667) is in the training set, though.

Rembrandt oil paintings are renowned for his use of chiaroscuro. His mastery of light and shadow created dramatic contrasts, drawing the viewer’s attention to key elements of his compositions.

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn needs little introduction. Unlike the other two masters in the series, Rembrandt has explorered many subjects and medias throughout his illustrious and long career. For this reason, I will be training at least two LoRAs for his style, starting with this etching style LoRA.

Like most Flux LoRA, the training trigger "rembr2 painting" is actually not required, but it does make your intentions clearer. You do have to tell Flux to generate "painting/oil painting/etching/sketch/drawing" for some prompts to steer it away from its default photo style.

Have fun with the LoRA. If you post your first image directly here (click on "Add Post" above the gallery), I will give you 10 buzz for that image ? (If I forgot, just complain loudly ?)

This is what ChatGPT has to say about Rembrandt.

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (July 15, 1606 – October 4, 1669) was a Dutch painter, printmaker, and draughtsman who is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential artists in history. Renowned for his innovative use of light and shadow, psychological depth, and ability to convey emotion, Rembrandt was a central figure of the Dutch Golden Age of painting.

Early Life and Training

Birth and Family:
- Rembrandt was born in Leiden, Netherlands, into a relatively prosperous family. His father was a miller, which afforded him access to a good education.
Education and Training:
- He attended Latin school and briefly enrolled at Leiden University but soon pursued art full-time.
- He apprenticed with local painters and later studied under Pieter Lastman in Amsterdam, who introduced him to the dramatic storytelling techniques of history painting.

Artistic Career

Rembrandt’s career can be divided into three phases: his early years in Leiden, his successful period in Amsterdam, and his later years marked by financial difficulties and personal tragedies.

Leiden (1625–1631):
- During this period, Rembrandt created small history paintings and portraits. He began experimenting with dramatic lighting and compositions.
Amsterdam and Success (1631–1650):
- Rembrandt moved to Amsterdam, where he gained fame and prosperity as a portrait painter.
- His commissioned group portrait, The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp (1632) solidified his reputation.
- He married Saskia van Uylenburgh, whose dowry supported his thriving studio.
- His innovative use of chiaroscuro (contrast between light and shadow) reached new heights during this time.
- Notable works: The Night Watch (1642) and The Jewish Bride (c. 1667).
Later Years and Challenges (1650–1669):
- After Saskia's death, Rembrandt faced personal and financial difficulties, including bankruptcy. He maintained a modest lifestyle but continued to produce deeply moving works.
- Despite his hardships, his later paintings, such as The Return of the Prodigal Son (1669), exhibit profound emotional and spiritual depth.
- He lived with his companion, Hendrickje Stoffels, and their daughter, Titus, during this period.

Artistic Style and Innovations

Chiaroscuro:
