Painting Description
"The King Uzziah Stricken with Leprosy" is a notable painting by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in 1635 during the artist's early period in Amsterdam. This historical painting depicts the biblical story of King Uzziah of Judah, who, according to the Book of Chronicles, was punished with leprosy for attempting to burn incense on the altar of incense in the Temple of Jerusalem, an act reserved for the priests.
The artwork is renowned for its dramatic use of chiaroscuro and the psychological depth with which Rembrandt portrays the fallen monarch. Uzziah's expression captures the moment of his realization of both his transgression and its divine punishment. The painting's composition, with its stark contrasts of light and shadow, serves to highlight the king's isolation and the gravity of his condition.
Measuring 102 cm by 78.5 cm, the painting is executed in oil on canvas. It is part of the collection of the Chatsworth House in England, home to the Duke of Devonshire. "The King Uzziah Stricken with Leprosy" is considered an important work in Rembrandt's oeuvre, exemplifying his skill in conveying narrative and emotion, as well as his mastery of biblical subjects which featured prominently throughout his career.
This painting is not only a testament to Rembrandt's artistic genius but also provides insight into the cultural and religious context of the 17th century, reflecting the Protestant Netherlands' emphasis on the Old Testament stories. It continues to be studied for its historical significance, artistic technique, and its place within the broader context of European art history.
