About The Artwork
expand_more
Rembrandt was a dedicated self-portraitist all his life, and roughly forty self-portraits by him survive today. In this example, painted when Rembrandt was fifty-four, the artist was unsparing in depicting the signs of aging in his own face, building up the paint in high relief to convey his furrowed brow, the heavy pouches beneath his eyes, and his double chin. The recent removal of a synthetic varnish has revealed more of Rembrandt’s working method, showing, for example, how he flipped the brush to incise with its butt end the rough curls spilling out of his cap.

About the artist

Rembrandt van Rijn was a Dutch painter and etcher, widely regarded as one of the greatest artists in European art history. Born on July 15, 1606, in Leiden, in the Dutch Republic (now the Netherlands), he became famous for his dramatic use of light and shadow, realistic portraits, and paintings inspired by biblical stories and historical events. He studied under several artists before establishing his own workshop. His works are celebrated for their emotional depth, detailed expressions, and masterful technique.
