"Portrait of Maerten Soolmans" is a celebrated painting by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1634. This portrait is part of a pair of wedding portraits, the other being "Portrait of Oopjen Coppit," which depicts Maerten Soolmans' wife. The paintings were commissioned to commemorate the marriage of Maerten Soolmans and Oopjen Coppit, who were members of affluent Amsterdam families.

Rembrandt, known for his masterful use of light and shadow, as well as his ability to capture the psychological depth of his subjects, imbued the portrait with a sense of grandeur and intimacy. Maerten Soolmans is depicted standing, dressed in luxurious black attire adorned with lace and a broad-brimmed hat, which signifies his wealth and status. The intricate details of his clothing, including the delicate lace collar and cuffs, highlight Rembrandt's meticulous attention to texture and fabric.

The portrait is notable for its life-size scale and the full-length depiction of the subject, which was relatively uncommon in Dutch portraiture at the time. This format was typically reserved for royalty and the elite, underscoring the importance and social standing of the sitter. Rembrandt's skillful use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure and adds a dramatic effect to the composition.

In 2015, the portraits of Maerten Soolmans and Oopjen Coppit were jointly acquired by the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the Louvre in Paris for €160 million, reflecting their immense cultural and historical value. The paintings are now displayed alternately between the two museums, allowing a broader audience to appreciate Rembrandt's exceptional artistry. The acquisition and shared custody of these masterpieces underscore the collaborative efforts of cultural institutions to preserve and celebrate significant works of art.
