Marten Soolmans (1613-1641) is a portrait painted by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn in 1634. This painting is part of a pair of wedding portraits, the other being of Soolmans' wife, Oopjen Coppit. Both portraits are celebrated examples of Rembrandt's mastery in capturing the character and status of his subjects through his innovative use of light and shadow.

Marten Soolmans was a wealthy Dutch merchant, and his marriage to Oopjen Coppit, a member of an affluent Amsterdam family, was a significant social event. The portraits were commissioned to commemorate their union and reflect their social standing. In the portrait, Soolmans is depicted in a lavish black outfit adorned with lace and a large, fashionable ruff, indicative of his wealth and status. His confident pose and direct gaze further emphasize his prominence.

Rembrandt's technique in this painting is notable for its attention to detail and the realistic rendering of textures, such as the intricate lace and the sheen of the fabric. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that contrasts light and dark, adds depth and dimension to the portrait, highlighting Soolmans' face and hands while creating a dramatic effect.

The portraits of Marten Soolmans and Oopjen Coppit remained in private collections for centuries and were rarely displayed publicly. In 2015, they were jointly acquired by the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the Louvre in Paris, ensuring their preservation and public accessibility. This acquisition was significant as it marked a rare collaboration between two major museums.

Today, the portraits are considered masterpieces of 17th-century Dutch portraiture and are admired for their artistic excellence and historical significance. They offer insight into the fashion, culture, and social dynamics of the Dutch Golden Age, as well as Rembrandt's exceptional skill as a portraitist.
