Description

Dutch School; Follower of REMBRANDT (Leiden,1606- Amsterdam, 1669), 18th century. "Self-portrait of Rembrandt". Oil on canvas. Relined. Presents, faults, repainting and restorations. Measurements: 61.5 x 51 cm. This work reproduces the famous self-portrait with feathered hat made by Rembrandt. The original piece is in the Mauritshuis Museum in the Netherlands. In this portrait, Rembrandt's energy and direct teaching can be appreciated: both the figure and the background share shadows and lights, sliding the light focus through the flushed complexion and the dark eyes, playing with thousands of shades that extract velvety textures and capture with naturalism the boldness of the gallant countenance. The edges are blurred in a wise transit. His gaze is already impregnated with an enigmatic look, transmitting a depth that presages a reflexive maturity, moving away from the irreverent challenge of his first portraits. He combines meticulous brushstrokes, almost calligraphic, to capture the expression, with freer brushstrokes in the details. We can appreciate how the author of this canvas has been able to assimilate the lesson of the undisputed master of chiaroscuro, the monochromatic tonalities with spectacular contrasts. We can also appreciate the imprint of Rembrandt's varied impastos, whose brushstrokes varied from delicate glazes to the touch of a brush rich in matter. To the importance of the portrait genre in 17th century Holland must be added interpretations such as the fact that Rembrandt's series of self-portraits constituted a sort of personal diary that gave an account of his physical evolution, and at the same time served as a basis for psychological reflection. Thus, in his youthful self-portraits he presents himself with a certain haughtiness, which later relaxes into a self-confident mature man, to finally show himself as an old man aware of the transience of life. Rembrandt was, in addition to being a master painter, an exceptional engraver. He worked with both burin and drypoint, always dispensing with prior drawing, attacking the plate directly and exploiting to the maximum the expressive possibilities of the etching technique. He made many tests, removing and inserting elements and retouching, hence the great sense of immediacy of his engravings. He made up to ten different states, and it even took him years to finish some of his works. His favorite subject was the self-portrait: he took himself as a model to study his affections, and at the same time he left a record of his personality and the passage of time. Dimensions 61.5 x 51 cm.
