Painting Description
''Selbstbildnis mit Saskia'' (English: ''Self-Portrait with Saskia'') is a renowned etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1636 during the Dutch Golden Age. This work is significant as it is the only etching in which Rembrandt portrayed himself with his wife, Saskia van Uylenburgh. The etching measures 104 mm x 94 mm and is held in various collections, including the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg.
In this intimate self-portrait, Rembrandt presents himself seated beside Saskia, who is thought to be dressed as a bride. This portrayal is not only a testament to their marital bond but also serves as an exploration of identity, partnership, and the artist's role in society. Rembrandt, known for his self-portraits, used this medium to convey personal narratives and his status as an artist. The etching is executed with the fine detail and chiaroscuro for which Rembrandt is celebrated, showcasing his mastery of the etching technique and his ability to capture emotional depth and texture.
The artwork reflects the personal life of Rembrandt, who married Saskia in 1634. She was the cousin of a successful art dealer who helped Rembrandt gain commissions from the upper class. Their marriage was a significant period in Rembrandt's life, marked by prosperity and happiness, which is subtly conveyed in the tender depiction of the couple. However, their time together was marred by tragedy, as Saskia died in 1642, eight years after this etching was made, leaving Rembrandt with their son, Titus.
''Selbstbildnis mit Saskia'' is an important piece in Rembrandt's oeuvre, offering insights into his personal life, his marriage to Saskia, and the social context of 17th-century Netherlands. It remains a subject of study for art historians and enthusiasts who seek to understand the artist's life and the evolution of his artistic style. The etching's authenticity and provenance, along with its condition, have been well-documented, ensuring its status as a pivotal work in the history of art.
