Painting Description
"Self Portrait with Saskia" is a celebrated etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1636 during the Baroque period, which was a time of dramatic expression in European art. This work is notable for being the only etching in which Rembrandt included his wife, Saskia van Uylenburgh, who was often featured in his paintings. The etching measures 104 mm x 94 mm and is catalogued as Bartsch 19, Hollstein 144.
In this intimate portrait, Rembrandt presents himself and Saskia in historical costumes, a choice that reflects his fascination with dressing up and role-playing, which was a recurring theme in his oeuvre. Rembrandt is depicted in the act of drawing or etching, while Saskia, his muse and confidante, looks on. The work is characterized by its intricate detail and the masterful use of light and shadow, which was a hallmark of Rembrandt's technique.
The etching is a testament to the personal life of the artist and provides insight into his marriage with Saskia, who came from a wealthy family and brought financial stability to Rembrandt's life. Their relationship was a source of inspiration for the artist, and her presence in his work underscores the personal significance of this particular etching.
"Self Portrait with Saskia" is held in high regard for its technical proficiency and its emotional depth. It is a prime example of Rembrandt's skill in the medium of etching, which he used to explore the human condition with great sensitivity and insight. The etching is housed in several major collections, including the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg, ensuring its accessibility to the public and its continued appreciation as a masterpiece of 17th-century art.
