      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
