How many paintings did Rembrandt van Rijn paint?

Opinions vary. It was originally claimed that he made over 700 paintings, but the Rembrandt Research Project reduced this number to around 250. Museums often claim the higher figure. The debate about the authenticity of some of his works continues, and the attribution of many may never be settled. He also produced approximately 300 etchings, and 1400 drawings.


What subject matter did Rembrandt use?

Excerpt, and some sites: Rembrandt's subject matter was as diverse as Amsterdam and he etched myriad intimate observations from everyday life including scenes of beggars, children, animals, and various people at their professions. Many of these "genre" pieces capture the same psychological intenseness as his commissioned portraits. http://www.franklinbowlesgallery.com/SF/Artists/Rembrandt/Pages/sf_rembhome.html In the cases of The Musicians, The Mummers and The Drummers we are able to see how Rembrandt used the reflections to double the subject matter. There are nearly eighty other examples of this procedure that could be cited among Rembrandt's drawings.http://www.saverembrandt.org.uk/cms/content/view/1/32/
