Was Rembrandt blind?
I think he was loosing his sight towards the end of his life, but I haven't read that he was blind. --------------------------------------------------------- There are d…ifferent types of blindness. It's been suggested that Rembrandt might have suffered a particular type called stereo blindness, which would mean he had difficulty with depth perception and couldn't see three dimensions as well as normal people. This would probably have helped him as an artist, though, since painting often means reducing what we see in the 3-D world to a 2-D canvas. (MORE)

What was Rembrandts medium?
Rembrandt used oil paint for his paintings. He is also well known for his numerous etchings. To complete an etching one uses a steel or copper plate, draw the image with a too…l known as a dry point and then ink and a press to print the image onto paper. That is true but it doesn't answer the question of what is Rembrandt's medium. Rembrandt's medium is a cooked oil. Nobody is quite sure exactly how it was prepared but its thought to be a "burnt plate oil", either linseed or walnut. The oil is heated to its flash point (about 400c) at which temperature it thickens. The siccative properies of the oil are changed and painting with oil treated in this way produces similar impasto effects that we see in R's work. (MORE)
