Return of the Prodigal Son, circa 1668-69 Giclee Print 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 giclée print offers beautiful color accuracy. Giclée (French for “to spray”) is a printing process where millions of ink droplets are sprayed onto the paper’s surface creating natural color transitions. The high-quality paper (235 gsm) is a great option for framing with its smooth, acid free surface.

I am considering returning this item: 1. the colors do not seem dull and very dark 2. it is too large for the room. I would like to know the return/exchange policy and if the type of paper/process may have muted the colors and the other choice would be brighter.

The canvas reproduction transformed the image giving it true life and lustre. It was worth every penny and the size i chose really made the painting come to life as the original is life size.
The quality is fantastic and exceeded all my expectations. The painting is now a source of daily inspiration as it hangs in my office. I bought it having been transformed by a book on the painting called the return of the prodigal son by Henri J Nouwen.
