Self-Portrait (1659) by Rembrandt
Self-Portrait (1659)
Rembrandt | Baroque | Oil on canvas
The master painter looks at us with wise, tired eyes. His lined face and clasped hands tell the story of a life filled with both triumphs and troubles.
Did you know? Rembrandt made close to 100 self-portraits, including more than 40 paintings, by studying his own face in a mirror. In this one he first painted a light-colored cap, then changed his mind and gave himself the big black beret you see now!
