    Yes,

    Rembrandt van Rijn = Rembrandt.

    Basically the same as Madonna Louise Ciccone = Madonna or Prince Rogers Nelson = Prince.

      Oh and your Ninja Turtle Old Masters had full names too - now, “Da Vinci” is pretty well known of course, but not so much the others:

      Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci

      Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni

      Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi

      Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino
