“Life etches itself onto our faces as we grow older, showing our violence, excesses or kindnesses.” ― Rembrandt Van Rijn

Rembrandt was a 17th-century painter and etcher whose work came to dominate what has since been named the Dutch Golden Age. One of the most revered artists of all time, Rembrandt’s greatest creative triumphs are seen in his portraits of his contemporaries, illustrations of biblical scenes and self-portraits as well as his innovative etchings and use of shadow and light. https://www.biography.com/artist/rembrandt

I read this interesting story by Charlotte Zobeir Ali and thought of visiting Rembrandt’s home in Amsterdam.
