EDITORS COMMENTS
Heroine from the Old Testament, Rembrandt van Rijn, 1632-1633, National Gallery of Canada This exquisite oil on canvas painting, created by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn between 1632 and 1633, is currently housed in the esteemed National Gallery of Canada. The artwork, titled "Heroine from the Old Testament," showcases a young woman in a moment of intimate solitude, as she engages in her morning routine at her toilet table. The scene is set in a richly textured and warmly lit boudoir, with the woman's red hair cascading down her shoulders as she leans over a basin, her reflection captured in the still water. She tenderly combs her hair with a delicate hairbrush, her expression one of deep concentration and serenity. The painting's title suggests a connection to the Old Testament, though the specific biblical heroine is not identified. This work is an excellent example of Rembrandt's mastery of the Baroque genre, with its dramatic use of light and shadow, intricate details, and evocative storytelling. The artist's skillful brushwork brings the woman's textured robe, the rich folds of her hair, and the intricate patterns of her toilet table to life. The painting's intimacy and sensuality invite the viewer to connect with the subject on a deeply personal level, making it a captivating and timeless addition to the National Gallery of Canada's collection.
