| schema:abstract | ""Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) was among the few great old masters to enjoy considerable freedom in his choice of themes. Living and working in the Protestant Netherlands, he painted largely for private patrons and the open market, selecting his own subjects in the hope of finding buyers. Although he depicted biblical, historical, and mythological themes in emulation of the great artists of the past, his works often focus on fundamental human experiences and emotions that transcend their literary sources. Even when working within the confines of a specific commission, Rembrandt seeks to imbue his paintings with deeper and more personal meanings. These reveal the artist's profound humanity and at times also reflect the circumstances of his own life. This illuminating study explores some of the principal themes of Rembrandt's art - from love, sin, repentance and forgiveness to fatherhood, adultry and the conflict between the generations."--"@en |
