Rembrandt van Rijn, the Master of Light and Shadow

Rembrandt

, born in 1606 in Leiden, Netherlands, is considered one of the greatest painters and etchers in European art history. He is renowned for his mastery of light and shadow, which he used to create depth and emotion in his paintings. Rembrandt's self-portraits are among his most famous works, offering a unique insight into the artist's life and development over four decades.

Self-Portrait with Two Circles: A Monumental Masterpiece

Painted around 1665, Self-Portrait with Two Circles is one of Rembrandt's most ambitious self-portraits. The painting features the artist holding his palette, brushes, and maulstick, creating a sense of intimacy and immediacy. The background remains a subject of debate, with interpretations ranging from a simple studio wall to a symbolic representation of knowledge or infinity.

Improvisational Handling and Unfinished Details

As in many of Rembrandt's late works, Self-Portrait with Two Circles is characterized by an improvisational handling, with details that read as unfinished. This technique adds to the painting's expressiveness and reinforces the artist's presence.
