Image description

It is not perhaps surprising that Rembrandt, the greatest artist of seventeenth-century Holland, should have been so self-indulgent in depicting his own likeness. Rembrandt literally paints his autobiography by means of some forty pictures, as well as thirty-one prints and numerous drawings. The earliest show him as a young man in his early twenties, the last produced in the year of his death at the age of 63. This painting shows him at the height of his success aged 36, before bankruptcy and bereavement lent his self-portraits a more melancholy air and introspective demeanour. Here he depicts himself in a direct way as a confident, successful man of the world. He exudes gravitas but is instantly likeable: his troubles have yet to overwhelm him. It was purchased in 1814 by George IV, who was a great admirer of Rembrandt and acquired three of the five paintings by the artist in the Royal Collection.
