Hello from Krakow! Behind me is Wawel Castle, the home of the Polish kings. I’m here because Rembrandt’s mysterious painting The Polish Rider is currently on show at the castle. It’s usually in New York at the Frick Collection! How exciting to see it in Poland! Go go go!

With time Rembrandt’s technical ability continuously evolved & his genius grew. Woman Bathing (1654), Man in Armour (1655), Hendrickje (1659) & Portrait of the Artist At his Easel (1660). His self-portrait is testament to that genius

The newly-invented telescope may have been used by Adam Elsheimer in depicting the stars in this tiny A4 size ‘Flight into Egypt’ ~ the first naturalistic depiction of a night sky in Renaissance art (1609) & big influence on Rembrandt’s later version (R) https://t.co/Z0OPc1DDWl

I watched a doc on Netflix recently about a famous art heist in Boston in the 90s. Rembrandt’s “Storm on the Sea of Galilee” was one of the works stolen.

I really love this piece, especially because he painted himself onto the boat (Pic 2, 2nd from the left)!

12 other pieces were also stolen, including Rembrandt’s “The Sea of Galilee” (1633). (2/4)

Some old-school selfies for you to make you smile. Below are: Rembrandt’s self-portrait as he mugs for the viewer in the 17th cen, & two self-portraits by Boilly in the 19th cen. See? Even “serious” artists can be silly.

Did you know that painted Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee when he was just 27 years old? This narrative work is the artist’s sole seascape painting. If you look very closely at the passengers on the ship, you’ll even see Rembrandt’s own face among the men.

Don’t know what you’ve done today but I’ve cooked Rembrandt’s face on the fire and made a cartoon of my good chums

Rembrandt’s The Jewish Bride (c1665-9) is, in my opinion, the best love painting in history. The ballet of hands & gesture are superlative
