In his last years, buffeted by grievous personal and financial losses, Rembrandt turns inward. The cockiness of youth yields to a tragic vision of age and loss. Western art has never experienced such magnificent examinations of what it is to be human. Rembrandt’s portraits present compelling, sentient beings, who think… feel… remember. This is an art that reveals us to ourselves, informs us, defines and enlarges our humanity. Rembrandt’s depictions of man's inner life, and of the tragedy of life, transcend boundaries and borders, time and place.
