A Woman in Bed Art Appreciation Lecture Series 2015 Meet the Masters: Highlights from the Scottish National Gallery Rembrandt: A woman in bed Richard Beresford 20 / 21 May 2015 Lecture summary: A Woman in bed by Rembrandt is one of the great masterpieces of the Scottish National Gallery. The work is unique in Rembrandt’s career. He never produced another picture of the same or similar subject. There is no meaningfully related precedent in European art. Nor is there any later work we can point to as significantly influenced by this canvas. The work is not only unique, it also remains a complete mystery. 300 years of art historical investigation have failed to tie the picture down to a single meaning. As this lecture will argue (and as is often the case with the greatest of great art) the picture in fact owes its eloquence precisely to its lack of a clearly definable meaning. There are many examples in Rembrandt’s work where scholars find themselves immobilised, but those works are often the most transfixing. To the visitor who comes to such a picture with an open mind, it will respond in the language of shared human experience. Quite how Rembrandt achieves this is his mystery. It is something that we will perhaps understand a little better at the end of the lecture than at the beginning … perhaps not. Slide list: 1.

  • Rembrandt: a Milestone of Portraiture
    Artistic Narration: A Peer Reviewed Journal of Visual & Performing Art ISSN (P): 0976-7444 (e): 2395-7247 Vol. VIII. 2016 IMPACT Factor - 3.9651 Rembrandt: a Milestone of Portraiture Syed Ali Jafar Assistant Professor Dept. of Painting, D.S. College, Aligarh. Email: [email protected] Abstract When we talk about portraiture, the name of Dutch painter Rembrandt comes suddenly in our mind who was born in 1607 and studied art in the studio of a well known portrait painter Pieter Lastman in Amsterdam. Soon after learning all the basics of art, young Rembrandt established himself as a portrait painter along with a reputation as an etcher (print maker). As a result, young and energetic Rembrandt established his own studio and began to apprentice budding artist almost his own age. In 1632, Rembrandt married to Saskia van Ulyenburg, a cousin of a well known art dealer who was not in favour of this love marriage. Anyhow after the marriage, Rembrandt was so happy but destiny has written otherwise, his beloved wife Saskia was died just after giving birth to the son Titus. Anyhow same year dejected Rembrandt painted his famous painting „Night Watch‟ which pull down the reputation of the painter because Rembrandt painted it in his favourite dramatic spot light manner which was discarded by the officers who had commissioned the painting. Despite having brilliant qualities of drama, lighting scene and movement, Rembrandt was stopped to obtain the commission works. So he stared to paint nature to console himself. At the same time, Hendrickje Stoffels, a humble woman who cared much to child Titus, married Rembrandt wise fully and devoted her to reduce the tide of Rembrandt‟s misfortune.

  • Evolution and Ambition in the Career of Jan Lievens (1607-1674)
    ABSTRACT Title: EVOLUTION AND AMBITION IN THE CAREER OF JAN LIEVENS (1607-1674) Lloyd DeWitt, Ph.D., 2006 Directed By: Prof. Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr. Department of Art History and Archaeology The Dutch artist Jan Lievens (1607-1674) was viewed by his contemporaries as one of the most important artists of his age. Ambitious and self-confident, Lievens assimilated leading trends from Haarlem, Utrecht and Antwerp into a bold and monumental style that he refined during the late 1620s through close artistic interaction with Rembrandt van Rijn in Leiden, climaxing in a competition for a court commission. Lievens’s early Job on the Dung Heap and Raising of Lazarus demonstrate his careful adaptation of style and iconography to both theological and political conditions of his time. This much-discussed phase of Lievens’s life came to an end in 1631when Rembrandt left Leiden. Around 1631-1632 Lievens was transformed by his encounter with Anthony van Dyck, and his ambition to be a court artist led him to follow Van Dyck to London in the spring of 1632. His output of independent works in London was modest and entirely connected to Van Dyck and the English court, thus Lievens almost certainly worked in Van Dyck’s studio. In 1635, Lievens moved to Antwerp and returned to history painting, executing commissions for the Jesuits, and he also broadened his artistic vocabulary by mastering woodcut prints and landscape paintings. After a short and successful stay in Leiden in 1639, Lievens moved to Amsterdam permanently in 1644, and from 1648 until the end of his career was engaged in a string of important and prestigious civic and princely commissions in which he continued to demonstrate his aptitude for adapting to and assimilating the most current style of his day to his own somber monumentality.

  • 'Portraits Bar'
    Our inspiration... At Fusion Boutique Hotel, we are fascinated by the remarkable and extraordinary and this has led to our inspiration for this magnificent restaurant. If you look around, you will notice modern versions of traditional paintings by Rembrandt van Rijn. Now you might wonder why this particular artist – this is why... Rembrandt was a 17th century painter and etcher whose work came to dominate what has since been named the Dutch Golden Age. One of the most revered artists of all time, Rembrandt’s greatest creative triumphs are seen in his portraits of his contemporaries, illustrations of biblical scenes, his self-portraits as well as his innovative etchings and use of shadow and light. Further to our fascination with Rembrandt as one of the most prominent and influential painters in European history, his wife Saskia justly captured our hearts. It is reported that Saskia was truly devoted to Rembrandt – not only was she his biggest critic, but also his pillar of strength. It is these strong traits which inspired the concept and the name of our restaurant. Saskia deserves a rightful place next to her husband in the books of art history as the powerful woman behind the man – allow us an opportunity to share their story… Step back in time... Rembrandt Harmezoon Van Rijn was born in Leiden, Amsterdam, on the 15th of July 1606, the ninth child of Harmen Gerritzoon van Rijn and his wife, Neeltje. He was the first and only of their sons who attended Latin school. For seven years Rembrandt was a student at the Latin school, and then, in 1620, he enrolled at Leiden University at the age of thirteen.

    REMBRANDT Tafel van Vijf, 2019 ACHTERGROND EN PERSONAGES Kunst in de zeventiende eeuw Een portret van jezelf, of van je vrienden of familie is natuurlijk supermakkelijk: dat doe je met je smartphone. Die hadden ze niet in de zeventiende eeuw, maar ze hadden wel portretschilders die in opdracht en voor veel geld een (groeps)portret maakten. Dat was dus ook alleen weggelegd voor de rijken, en kon soms maanden of zelfs jaren duren om te maken. De portretten hadden eigenlijk dezelfde functies als foto’s nu hebben: om je huis mooi mee te maken, om je status mee aan te geven maar ook om de herinnering aan overleden familieleden in stand te houden. De meeste kunst werd gemaakt in opdracht. Van vrije of abstracte kunst (het tegenovergestelde van figuratieve kunst waarbij echte dingen te zien zijn) was toen nog geen sprake. Rembrandts werk viel op doordat hij beweging liet zien in zijn schilderijen. Hij schilderde geen mensen netjes naast elkaar, maar ‘in actie’, zodat het leek alsof de mensen op het schilderij niet door hadden dat ze geschilderd werden. Rembrandt maakte ongeveer 300 schilderijen. Soms deed hij wel drie jaar lang over het maken van één schilderij. Hij maakte meestal kleine schilderijen, van mensen of van natuur. Rembrandt schilderde eerst met hele donkere kleuren, maar later gebruikte hij meer kleur en werden zijn schilderijen groter. Rembrandt (gespeeld door Oscar Siegelaar) Rembrandt werd geboren in 1606 als zoon van Neeltgen en Harmen Gerritsz van Rijn. Zijn vader was een molenaar, die twee molens in Leiden had – toentertijd behoorde hij tot de gegoede middenklasse.
