Author: Rembrandt
Date: 1666 ca
Museum: Rijksmuseum
Features: 121'5 x 166'5 cm.
Material: Oil on canvas
Style: Work carried out to 1666 in which a man appears with a woman. The classical interpretation of the work alludes to the scene of a Jewish father at the time you leave your daughter is getting married. Was now considered to represent a scene in which the protagonists would be his son Titus and his girlfriend Magdalena van Loo, and the fact represent the family as protagonists was very common in the work of Rembrandt as in The Prodigal Son. The position of the man, placing the arm behind the young and the right hand to chest height, it is quite strange, accentuating enigma even when interpreting the table. The eyes of both figures are not related to each other, something strange in the painting of Rembrandt. The most significant is the way you work with a very loose brush strokes and blobs that are clearly visible on the canvas. The coloring is quite alive, with reds and yellows, while the neutral background is darker, common characteristics of tenebrism. It also noted the details of the girl's jewelry, more elaborate, reminiscent of the first style of the painter. *********
