Rembrandt
“Rembrandt expressed an inner
knowledge. The image one sees in
the mirror…is not ideal or
mythical….it shows the effects of
age, disease, disappointment,
frustration, self-less, covetousness,
weak-ness. These come out quite as
clearly as health, joy, and
confidence.”
Rembrandt Self portrait at 63 [1669]
Vermeer
