OIL PAINTING: Two Scholars Disputing, 1628
Rembrandt's 1628 painting Two scholars disputing shows the artistic concept that he would use throughout his career: a dark underpainting with the essentials highlighted. While in his pre-1628 paintings (such as Tobit and Anna) unnecessary details would distract from the painting's biblical essence, Rembrandt's new style enabled him to give his history pieces a clear message with a biblical atmosphere.
