Rembrandt works

A night watch (1642)

The most important work of the Dutch breeder was commissioned in 1639 by the Arcabuzeiros Corporation of Amsterdam in order to decorate the company's headquarters. A cloth was delivered in 1642.

In front of the qudro, leading the way, is the captain Frans Banning Cocq e o seu tennte. We see no work by Rembrandt um portrait in motion, a fairly unusual feature for the time in which it was painted when the portraits were usually static.

Or that chama a atenção nessa peça é o jogo de luz e sombra, a presença de forte ação (observe, for example, the arms raised), a noção de profundidade e dynamism (See how there are many ações happening simultaneously).

Do not perch a deep analysis of the Quadro A Ronda Noturna, by Rembrandt.

Or return of the prodigal filho (1662)

Painted in 1662 by Rembrandt, the image illustrates the moment when the parable of Jesus returns home, to join the country.

A biblical story, which is recorded in Luke 15, narrates the journey of a rebellious young man who decides to go home to live no luxury as the father's fortune. Repended, he ends up returning home in a terrible state - with a scraped head, scraped and practically barefoot - onde or pai or awaits with open arms.

Some figures attend dinner, between the pregnant and the rapaz that returns. Na fabric we stand out or fate to see the expression of practically all of you represented, except the prodigal filho, which gives me a square.

We observe not quadro or typical game of light and shadow usually present in the canvases of a Dutch painter.

Uma curiosidade: in 1766 Catarina, a Grande, da Rússia, acquired cloth Or return of the prodigal filho, which is currently not at the Museu Hermitage em São Petersburgo.

A Lição de Anatomia do Dr. Tulp (1632)

Painted in 1632, when the artist was barely 26 years old, on canvas it portrays a session of a dissected corpse. I was entrusted to this by the Associação de Cirurgiões (Surgeons Guild) of Amsterdã.

Assim like em A night watch, we see a peculiar group portrait, where each expression appears in a dramatic and chama to attention of the spectator.

Theorists of Rembrandt's work suppose that, of the portrayed group, two or three people were indeed doctors and those present would be assistants. Those who observe the medical procedure seem to hypnotized, deeply concentrated assisting or master in ação leaving as entrances of the forearm skeleton to show.

Records show that the dissemination occurred on February 16, 1632 in the conference room of the association. Either the protagonist of the canvas (or the only name not included in the title of the work), or Dr. Nicolaes Tulp (1593-1674), or a municipal anatomist who, on occasion, was 39 years old and was a consecrated physician.

The corpse in question was Aris Kindt, a criminal who had been convicted of armed robbery. Deited on a wooden table, partly, apart from the fact that he does not figure deeply and clearly in opposition to drainage present in all or the rest of the work.

Jewish noiva (1666-1667)

Jewish noiva It was painted between 1666 and 1667 and, in an image, we only see two people. This content of figures allows the painter to explore more in detail at psychological density of each uma das personagens through das feições. In the long run (especially not the beginning of the career), Rembrandt dedicated himself to creating portraits.

Quite careful to portray details such as joias da noiva e a relação entre o recém-casal, or painter Dutch achieve, through body language, demonstrate or affect the compliance with which they casal.

An interesting fact: as an artist living with Mulher Saskia numa luxurious house located in the Jewish quarter of Amsterdam, he ended up portraying a series of rabbis and facts related to the Jewish universe.

Bathsheba e seu banho (1654)

Painted in 1654 in oil ink, Bathsheba e seu banho não é uma exceção na produção de Rembrandt, which painted a series of biblical themes long year of all his career.

The Dutch breeder was a connoisseur of both velho and new testament and, between 1616 and 1620, frequent a Latin School in his native city specialized in biblical and classical studies.

The story that he chose to portray here, from Bathsabá, future king of Salomão, is not an old testament. In his interpretation of him, Rembrandt presents an unashamed nakedness exposed to light. A bela pousa a mão esquerda on a white shirt and, com a mão direita, sure a mysterious paper enquanto a serva, with tons of drains in opposition to clarity of the, dry or seu pé.

Self portrait (1660)

Rembrandt fez a series of self-portraits in lifeIt is estimated that the artist has created about 80 images of his own - or in oil or in engraving - over 40 years.

Nessas images or breeder studies his own physiognomy and presents himself in various poses, using different costumes as well as presenting a series of different expressions.

There is no known reason why Rembrandt moved to create so many successive images, but I suppose that this movement is related to seek a self-awareness.

To portray or his own to degrade as two years pass, or a painter to illustrate not only his peak and physical vigor as well as his decline.
