Rembrandt and Rubens painted during what period?
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn [1606-1659] and Peter Paul Rubens [1577-1640] were seventeenth-century painters, during the Baroque period of European art.
Baroque art aimed to fill owners and viewers with awe, to impress by the expression of power, in bright colors, on a large-scale, and with much detail. In many parts of Europe, religious themes painted in the Baroque style tended to provoke the desired response among audiences of direct, emotional involvement. For the Baroque period was a time of choosing between Catholicism and Protestantism in religion, and between Catholic and Protestant representations of religious subjects in art. In the Netherlands, the Baroque period overlapped with the Dutch Golden Age of art as still life, portraiture, landscape, and history. Each of these four art themes could be vehicles for religious themes, as in the rest of Europe. But they also could be the means of expressing the rise and power of the middle class, the overall prosperity of the Dutch peoples through overseas trade, and the energy of the nation in reclaiming land from the North Sea. The artistic masterpieces of Rembrandt and of Rubens give beautiful, clear examples of both the general European trend towards Baroque art, and of the specific Netherlandish expressions of the Dutch Golden Age.

What year did Rembrandt's monkey kick the bucket?
Can't really say for sure, but I believe it was between 1646 and 1649, when Rembrandt was still painting portrait of clients in his house on the Breestraat, quit a few years before he lost his house in bankruptcy court. Rembrandt loved that monkey, including his son Titus and his mistress Hendrickje also like that monkey. Rembrandt had included that monkey in at least four painting that I know of personally. One of them was mentioned by Holbreaken, a Rembrandt historian who stated it was a known fact Rembrandt painted his dead monkey into a unfinished work of a family portrait. An earlier biographers, Filippo Baldinucci, who based his writings on the testimony of one of Rembrandt's pupils also said something to this effect. It was refused by of the head of the house hold who jump around the painting before Rembrandt was able to cover it up. Rembrandt refused to remove it because of liking its effect, and then proceeded to threw the family out of his house, and was said to have left the painting unfinished.
