Description & Specifications

Few art devotees can approach the radical contributions of Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn to self-portraiture. Challenging the conventions set by his predecessors, Rembrandt transformed the art into a fully realized medium capable of conveying emotional depth rather than immortalizing form with opulent tones. With more than 80 works spanning paintings, etchings, and drawings, the Dutch master's lifelong practice of self-portraiture serves as a means of realizing the fleeting. Over four decades, a particularly prominent constant through his media and styles is Rembrandt's dedication to presenting himself from multiple perspectives, celebrating the complexity of the individual and projecting the unabashed representation of emotional expression. In addition to the thematic concerns underpinning Rembrandt's suite of self-portraits, these works are rich in technicality and experimentation. There is an undeniable humanity that runs through his entire oeuvre, each expressive brushstroke and hidden feature shaping a raw and honest depiction of himself in all his imperfections, contradictory emotional states, and life stages. This monograph captures all of Rembrandt's self-portraits – from his early experiments at the age of twenty-two to the last self-portrait he painted a year before his death – and stands as a testament to a life dedicated to revolutionizing painting practice in both content and form.
