Rembrandt painted more self portraits than any other 17th century artist and we have two of them in our collection. This is one of them, when Rembrandt was 34 and at the height of his career. Look at the hat and coat he is wearing. This is actually an elaborate costume in the fashion of the previous century. By painting himself in these clothes, he is now dressed as his famous predecessors and, in doing so, he seems to be deliberately placing himself among the great 'Old Masters'. Come and have a look at this bold self portrait in Room 22.

#Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, Ritratto di vecchio 1665, #Uffizi #UffiziPeople “Sono nato il #15luglio 1606 a Leida, in Olanda. Per festeggiare il mio compleanno vi parlerò oggi di questo ritratto. Per quasi 20 anni ho vissuto ad Amsterdam, in una bellissima casa al 4 di Breestraat nel Vlooienburg, il quartiere ebraico dove abitavano gli esuli spagnoli e portoghesi della comunità sefardita. Tutte le abitazioni attigue appartenevano a ebrei. La mattina udivo gli schiamazzi in portoghese dei figli delle famiglie ebree che andavano a scuola e il venerdì pomeriggio sentivo il profumo delle pietanze preparate per lo Shabbat. Dall’ultimo piano della casa vedevo la sinagoga. Molti dei miei vicini ebrei sono diventati miei amici e i modelli per i miei dipinti, come il rabbino qui ritratto. Dalla scalinata d’ingresso lo vedevo attraverso le finestre della sua casa e un giorno gli chiesi se potevo ritrarlo. Acconsentì. Lo ritrassi seduto su un seggiolone di legno, le mani intrecciate in primo piano e il gomito destro appoggiato su un tavolo. Il volto assorto e la barba bianca affioravano dalla penombra, illuminati da una luce interiore, riflesso dell’intensa vita spirituale". E N G: #UffiziPeople "I was born today, 1606, in Leiden, Holland and I’m going to tell you about this portrait. For almost 20 years I lived in Amsterdam, in a beautiful house at 4 Breestraat in Vlooienburg, the Jewish quarter where the Spanish and Portuguese exiles of the Sephardic community lived. In the morning I heard the shouting in Portuguese of the Jewish families’ children who went to school and on Friday I smelled the dishes cooked for Shabbat. From the house’s top floor I could see the synagogue. Many of my Jewish neighbours have become my friends and sitters of my paintings, like the rabbi portrayed here. From the stairway I saw him through his house’s windows and one day I asked him if I could portray him. He agreed. I portrayed him sitting on a wooden chair, with his hands clasped in the foreground and his right elbow resting on a table. The pensive face and the white beard emerge from the shadows, illuminated by an inner light, a reflection of his intense spiritual life".

Happy birthday to Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn, born #onthisday in 1606!⠀ ⠀ Rembrandt painted many tronies (character studies from life) of aged men and women during his early career in Leiden before 1631. The striking effect of this unknown subject derives from the intensity of his gaze and fanciful costume, which includes a polished metal gorget (also used in no. 3) and a tall ostrich plume. Positioned low in the pictorial field, the head is illuminated by cool light from the upper left, creating dramatic contrast in the face and a sense of atmosphere in the neutral setting. Rembrandt sensitively delineated the attributes of age in the network of blurred wrinkles, sparse mustache and beard, and furrowed brow. The sideward glance of the man’s remarkable moist gray eyes, suggests he is listening attentively.⠀ ⠀ Learn more about the artist via our online exhibition, #RembrandtinSoCal—link in bio!⠀ ⠀ _______________⠀ ⠀ An Old Man in Military Costume, about 1630–31.

Il 15 luglio 1606 nasceva #Rembrandt, conosciuto per i suoi numerosi ritratti ed autoritratti. Il caratteristico gioco di luci e ombre dei suoi quadri lo hanno reso uno dei pittori olandesi più apprezzati al mondo. «Lezione di anatomia del dottor Tulp» del 1632 è una delle sue opere più apprezzate.

Happy Birthday #Rembrandt Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn was #bornonthisday in 1606! Many of us are fascinated by his art. And so was Mark Rothko. His interest in Rembrandt focused as much on the artist’s subject matter and technique as on the effects that they would have on the viewer: the drama of the human condition. He was fascinated by Rembrandt’s handling of light to express emotions. And Rembrandt is famous for his self-portraits, a genre that was not common at all back in 17th century Holland. But he presented himself to the public and showed various moods in his – nearly countless – self-portraits. We are happy to have three of them in our Picture Gallery. One of them is this ‘Self-Portrait in a Fur Coat with Gold Chain and Earring’ from the year 1655. ✨ Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, Self-Portrait in a Fur Coat with Gold Chain and Earring, 1655. #kunsthistorischesmuseum #vienna #rembrandt

Rembrandt van Rijn was born on this day in 1606. He painted “A Polish Nobleman” in 1637. Through dramatic accents of light and dark on the sitter’s face, bold brushwork, and dense application of paint, Rembrandt created a powerful, almost sculptural presence. By emphasizing the man’s furrowed brow and by shading his eyes, Rembrandt has portrayed him as a thoughtful individual. #rembrandt

Vincent could be blown away by a masterpiece, as his brother Theo knew. To cheer him up on his 37th and last birthday, Theo gave him a few reproductions of etchings by Rembrandt van Rijn. This year is #RembrandtYear, as it is 350 years since Rembrandt died. But #OnThisDay, we celebrate his birthday! With one of Vincent’s favourite works by Rembrandt: The Jewish Bride.
