Artist: Rembrandt Van Rijn
Style: Dutch Golden Age
Technique: Oil
The Prodigal Son in the Tavern (Rembrandt and Saskia) is an oil on canvas painting by the dutch painter and etcher Rembrandt van Rijn. It was painted in 1635. This unique double portrait of Rembrandt and Saskia (c. 1635-36) seems to offer an ironic and reflective gaze at his life. Here, too, an etching echoes the subject of the painting, but in the 1636 etched double portrait Rembrandt shows himself at work, drawing as he looks up at the viewer. This painting (161 x 131 cm) is currently housed in the Gemäldegalerie, Dresden.
