Collection of 10 Rembrand inspired Backgrounds

Famous painter Rembrandt van Rijn seems to be able to catch people’s spirits in his photographs. Rembrandt van Rijn, a maestro of the Baroque period, had an unparalleled impact on the art world and continues to amaze people with his creations today.

Rembrandt was known for his unique way of showing light and shadow by painting in the dark. His main subjects look like they are on a stage in the spotlight, while the background fades into darkness. Rembrandt’s paintings have a special, bright, dramatic, and lively quality that comes from these strong contrasts.

This painter was a selfie star and one of the most famous self-portrait celebrities ever throughout his time as an artist.

No painter before him ever repeatedly painted his or her own face on a canvas, a wood panel, or a piece of paper. Rembrandt van Rijn, who used a brush, an ink pen, or an eraser needle, passed away 350 years ago today.

His life story is peppered with unfortunate events and family strife. Only Titus, the fourth child born to his first wife Saskia, lived. At the age of 29, she herself passed away.

After that, Rembrandt dated his significantly younger housekeeper for a year while she expertly kept his firm from failing. She and his son Titus both perished from the disease. The painter was lonely, poor, and misunderstood when he passed away at age 63.

More black is used in Rembrandt’s works than any other color.

The Rembrandt Portrait backgrounds can be used with photo editing software that allows layers, for example, Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Luminar, Affiniti Photo and Gimp.

How to use the Backgrounds in Photoshop

1. Open your original image and process it any way you like. Once done, flatten the image.

3. You can also try other blend modes like Darken, Multiply, Color Burn, Darker Color, Lighten, Screen, Color Dodge, Lighter Color, Overlay, Soft Light, Hard Light, Difference, Exclusion, Hue, Saturation, Color, and Luminosity
4. You can also experiment with the opacity of the background layer or add several other adjustment layers till you are satisfied with the result.
5. Add a layer mask to the background layer and use a brush to mask the background from your subject.

Why is the background of a picture so important?

The background sets the tone for the rest of your composition. A good background will add to the story, tell you important things about your setting, and make your photo look much better. You should pay just as much attention to the background as you do to the subject.

How should a good background look?

You want it to be clutter-free and tidy enough so that readers can concentrate fully on your subject. Go for a background with a limited number of colors and patterns. This contrast between your model and their surroundings visually enhances the cleanliness of the scene.

How to select a color for the background?

When thinking of background ideas, ensure that the color of the background goes well with the color of your subject’s skin and clothes instead of drawing attention away from them. Color theory is a big part of what I do, and it’s important for photographers to understand it.
