EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on panel painting is a stunning copy of the renowned self-portrait by the Dutch master, Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669). The original self-portrait, created in 1659, is a masterpiece of Rembrandt's later years, showcasing his signature chiaroscuro technique and introspective expression. This exquisite replica was painted by the Irish artist Richard Rothwell (1800-1868). Rothwell was a prolific painter, known for his portraits and historical scenes. His rendition of Rembrandt's self-portrait is a testament to his skill and dedication to capturing the essence of the original work. The painting depicts Rembrandt gazing intently at the viewer, his hands resting on a table, a palette and brushes visible in the foreground. The artist's face is illuminated by a single source of light, creating a dramatic contrast between light and shadow that adds depth and dimension to the portrait. Rothwell's copy is a faithful representation of the original, with intricate details such as the fur collar, the creases in Rembrandt's clothing, and the texture of the tabletop all rendered with great care and precision. The use of oil paint allows for a rich, velvety texture and a lifelike quality that brings the portrait to life. This copy of Rembrandt's self-portrait by Richard Rothwell is not only a beautiful work of art in its own right, but also a testament to the enduring influence of Rembrandt's mastery of the medium. It invites us to contemplate the artist's inner world and the timeless power of self-expression.
