Self-portrait at the age of 54 by Rembrandt Harmens Van Rhine

Self portrait at the age of 54 by Rembrandt Harmens Van Rhine

In the heritage of drawings and paintings by Rembrandt at least seventy-five self-portraits – a kind of “visual diary.”

However, the need to display one’s own life and constant physiognomic analysis is not only a sign of accentuated autobiographical interest or confidence in its uniqueness: self portraits provide an opportunity to explore the reflection of various emotions in facial features or allow one to experiment with nuances of posture, manners and conditional gestures.

Some of the self-portrait were commissioned, while others were written for the family, but it cannot be ruled out that a considerable number of them, especially the later works, are a kind of visual autobiography. This canvas, the composition of which is rather strict, is one of the few where the artist appears in the touching image of a man who looks older than his fifty-four years.
