EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn's masterpiece, "Saskia as Flora" painted in 1634. The oil on canvas painting, measuring 125x101 cm, is housed in the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. The portrait depicts Saskia van Uylenburgh, Rembrandt's beloved wife and muse, embodying the mythical figure of Flora. Dressed in an exquisite costume adorned with vibrant flowers and a majestic headdress, she holds a staff symbolizing fertility and growth. Saskia's pregnancy at the time adds another layer of significance to this portrayal. Rembrandt skillfully captures his wife's beauty and grace through his masterful use of light and shadow. The play of light on her face accentuates her delicate features while casting a soft glow over her pregnant form. Flowers surround Saskia as if they are an extension of her essence - symbols of life and rebirth that further emphasize her role as Flora. The sceptre she holds firmly represents authority and power associated with this goddess. Through this artwork, Rembrandt immortalizes both his love for Saskia and their shared hope for new beginnings represented by Flora's symbolism. This stunning print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate the intricate details captured by one of history's greatest painters. It serves as a reminder not only of Rembrandt's artistic genius but also of the enduring bond between him and Saskia during their tragically short
