    I definitely thought “hmm, this one feels very out of character for Rembrandt” but would never have thought there were any other painters with that name—thank you for pointing this out!

    Also apparently and unsurprisingly the Peale Rembrandt was named for the van Rijn.

      Here’s a fun fact, Caravaggio is not his name, it’s the town he’s from. We call him that because his full name is Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio.
