“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 giclée print delivers a vivid image with maximum color accuracy and exceptional resolution. The standard for museums and galleries around the world, giclée (French for “to spray”) is a printing process where millions of ink droplets are sprayed onto the paper’s surface. With the great degree of detail and smooth transitions of color gradients, giclée prints appear much more realistic than other reproduction prints. The high-quality paper (235 gsm) is acid free with a smooth surface.
