Rembrandt Van Rijn Bust of a Man 1630 Etching Millenium Edition Framed

About the Item

A regal etching on Ingres d’Arches off-white laid paper paper titled “Bust of a Man Wearing a High Cap” by Rembrandt Van Rijn. Created in 1630. A 20th/21st Century impression printed by Marjorie Van Dyke. From the “Millenium” edition limited to 2500 examples. Art historians believe that this etching depicts Rembrandt’s father, although no conclusive evidence exists that supports this belief. Rembrandt’s father, Harmen Gerritszoon van Rijn, was a miller and owned a half-interest in a windmill called “De Rijn.” In this delicate and facile portrait, Rembrandt depicts a man with a resolute jaw, earnest eyes, and a focused and intent expression, all qualities one could easily associate with the wisdom and fortitude of one’s father. The exotic and ornate dress of the sitter—wearing a turban and coat—may suggest Rembrandt’s desire to portray his father as a man of importance. His father died the same year this etching was completed. From a private collection, originally purchased from Park West Gallery in 2005. Gallery tag on verso. Dimensions: 22”h x 21.5”w x 1.5”d (framed). In very good condition. Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) usually simply known as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman. An innovative and prolific master in three media, he is generally considered one of the greatest visual artists in the history of art. Rembrandt’s reputation as the greatest etcher in the history of the medium was established in his lifetime.

  • Rembrandt Van Rijn The Artist’s Mother 1631 Etching Millenium Edition Framed
    By Rembrandt van Rijn
    Located in Keego Harbor, MI
    An emotional etching on Ingres d’Arches off-white laid paper paper titled “The Artist’s Mother with Her Hand on Her Chest” by Rembrandt Van Rijn. Created in 1631. A 20th/21st Century impression printed by Marjorie Van Dyke. From the “Millenium” edition limited to 2500 examples. In this poignant portrait, Rembrandt captures his mother’s careworn face and tender expression as she is found in contemplation, her eyes cast downward. The position of her hand upon her chest suggests the importance of her thoughts and closeness to her heart. The darkly etched dress and veil heighten the drama of the image, and the curve of the veil around and over her face creates an angelic effect, reinforced by the light behind. In 1589, Rembrandt’s mother...
