Rembrandt is from Amsterdam.
 Several of Rembrandt's notable critics include Constantijn Huygens, Joachim von Sandrart, Andries Pels (who called Rembrandt "the first heretic in the art of painting"), Samuel van Hoogstraten, Arnold Houbraken, Filippo Baldinucci, Gerard de Lairesse, Roger de Piles, John Ruskin, and Eugne Fromentin
 While his work reveals deep Christian faith, there is no evidence that Rembrandt formally belonged to any church
