Return of the Prodigal Son Prints by Rembrandt van Rijn at AllPosters.com

“Return of the Prodigal Son” painted by Baroque artist, Rembrandt (1606 – 1669) shortly before he died, masterfully and compassionately depicted complex emotions, and summarized his own anguished life. Rembrandt, who ingeniously conveyed the subtleties of gesture, expression, light and shadow, became famous in his early 20s before becoming tormented by tragic deaths and self-created financial hardships. Overcoming these burdens with an insightful sensitivity and technical brilliance his personal anguish makes the heartache in this painting universally significant.

Rembrandt (1606 – 1669), was a Baroque artist whose masterful portrayal of complex emotions brought credibility and compassion to his art. Skillfully conveying feeling through gesture, expression, and a supreme command of light and shadow, Rembrandt meteorically rose to fame in his early 20s. His troubled and turbulent personal life, however, was riddled with tragic deaths and financial ruin incurred by his extravagance. Despite these burdens, he possessed a profound understanding of human nature and a brilliant technique which elevated him as an artist to universal significance, and which has immortalized his work.

This art print displays sharp, vivid images with a high degree of color accuracy. A member of the versatile family of art prints, this high-quality reproduction represents the best of both worlds: quality and affordability. Art prints are created on paper similar to that of a postcard or greeting card using a digital or offset lithography press.

I thought that the small creases would smooth out with framing, but they didn't. Now I'm wondering if I need to start over, [$] later.

Comments:

Appeared on screen to be 16 x 20 image size, it's only 12 x 16, the print paper, where it was rolled so tight, has ripples in it even after it was framed, as if it were exposed to humidity. I guess you get what you pay for.
