Enter me, 35, seeing Rembrandt Van Rijn’s final self-portrait in the Mauritshuis in The Hague, July 2014. That museum has Vermeer’s The Girl With The Pearl Earing too, but the 1669 self-portrait is the true gem of the collection. I was struck by lightning. I had seen paintings by Rembrandt before, but never one of his late works. The way he painted his hair, topped with a kind of turban or ribbon, is simply stunning. In a way, what I saw was the birth of impressionist and even show more expressionist painting, already in the 17th century. It took me half an hour before I could continue to the next painting, and before leaving the museum, I returned to it again. A profound delight.

The authors do a great job of putting Rembrandt firmly in his historical context. To our eyes Rembrandt might seem old hat – he’s such a part of our visual collective subconscious – but he’s not. Even today he remains fresh and relevant, and back in the 17th century he simply was in a league of his own. The texts feature quite a lot of quotations of 17th and 18th century art historians, and they succeed in proving the exceptional, revolutionary nature of Rembrandt. And that’s not just because of his technique – his brush strokes, his command of light, etc. – but also his command of composition and emotion, and the specific, singular way he chose to portray subjects and topics that were common at the time. He was a true genius, on multiple accounts. The book also zooms in a bit on Rembrandt eventful, tragic life. It’s not a biography however, the focus is on his art throughout.

Cet ouvrage propose pour la première fois une confrontation des deux génies de la peinture baroque, Rembrandt l'éminent artiste de l'âge d'or hollandais, et son alter ego italien, Michelangelo Merisi, dit Le Caravage. Les deux artistes sont respectivement considérés comme des révolutionnaires en peinture tant en Europe du Sud qu'en Europe du Nord. Avec une formation issue de traditions picturales différentes, chacun à développé un langage visuel frappant et original basé sur les show more contrastes de l'ombre et de la lumière. Tour au long de cet ouvrage, la juxtaposition par paires de leurs œuvres intensifie la comparaison. Bien qu'ils ne se soient jamais rencontrés - Le Caravage (1571-1610) mourut quatre ans après la naissance de Rembrandt (1606-1669) - de nombreux parallèles peuvent être observés entre les deux artistes et leur œuvre. Développant comme nul autre avant eux l'usage des contrastes de valeur et du clair-obscur, les deux artistes ont réussi à faire passer par la peinture une nouvelle le traitement des sujets abordés par eux s'en est trouvé entièrement renouvelé. Le Caravage, pour renforcer l'intensité des émotions et le caractère dramatique de ses compositions, porta l'usage intensif du contraste ombre-lumière à un degré de violence qui étonna ses contemporains. Poussin ne disait-il pas que Le Caravage était venu au monde pour tuer la peinture ? Bénéficiant de l'apport du Caravage, Rembrandt approfondit le traitement de l'ombre et la lumière pour souligner l'émotion intérieure des individus qu'il peignait : leur humanité et leur spiritualité. Perturbant au regard de leurs contemporains, le réalisme expressif de Rembrandt et du Caravage reste exceptionnellement irrésistible à ce jour. Il amplifie la puissance et les qualités énigmatiques de thèmes humains majeurs, comme l'amour, la religion, la sexualité ou la violence. Rembrandt et Caravage n'ont pas seulement changé le cours de la peinture, mais aussi notre perception du monde. Biographie de l'auteur Duncan Bull et Taco Dibbits sont conservateurs au Rijksmuseum d'Amsterdam. Volker Manuth est professeur d'histoire de l'art à l'université catholique de Nimègue. Ernst van de Wetering et Margriet van Eikema Hommes sont membres du Rembrandt Research Project. show less
