"More than three centuries after his death Rembrandt remains the most deeply loved of all the great masters of painting his face so familiar to us from the self-portraits painted at every stage in his life yet still so mysterious. As with Shakespeare the facts of his life are hard to come by: the Leiden miller's son who briefly found fame in Amsterdam whose genius was fitfully recognized by his contemporaries who fell into bankruptcy and died in poverty. So there is probably no painter whose life has engendered more legends nor to whom more unlikely pictures have been attributed a process now undergoing rigorous reversal. Rembrandt's Eyes about which Simon Schama has been thinking for more than twenty years shows that the true biography of Rembrandt is to be discovered in his pictures. Through a succession of superbly incisive descriptions and interpretations of Rembrandt's paintings threaded into this narrative he allows us to see Rembrandt's life clearly and to think about it afresh. But this book moves far beyond the bounds of conventional biography or art history. With extraordinary imaginative sympathy Schama conjures up the world in which Rembrandt moved -- its sounds smells and tastes as well as its politics; the influences on him of the wars of the Protestant United Provinces against Spain of the extreme Calvinism of his native Leiden of the demands of patrons and the ambitions of contemporaries; the importance of his beloved Saskia and after her death Rembrandt was later forced to sell her grave so complete was his ruin of his mistress Hendrickje Stoffels; and above all the profound effect on him of the great master of the immediately preceding generation the Catholic painter from Antwerp Peter Paul Rubens: 'the prince of painters and the painter of princes' with whom Rembrandt was obsessed for the first part of his life and whose career was the shaping force that drove Rembrandt to test the farthest reaches of his own originality.

PEALE, REMBRANDTBiblio.com

Autograph Letter Signed Mentioning His Painting "Portrait of a Young Man

925Peale is best known for his presidential portraits of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. In this Autograph Letter Signed 8vo n.p. May 15 1857 Peale is likely writing to John Durand 1822-1908 painter and son of artist Asher B. Durand. John Durand co-founded a cultural and art periodical called "The Crayon" published from Jan 3 1855 to July 1861. Peale writes "After you left me this morning it occurred to me that possibly in your next number you would give a few words on the Exhibition here - In this case you might say that it contained nothing from my pencil & that I preferred to send a portrait my last work in my 80th Year to the New York Academy. which I have done - That of a Young Man." Nicely signed "Rembrandt Peale." The painting's title refers to his "Portrait of a Young Man." Peale had settled in Philadelphia by the time he wrote this letter and that city is likely the place to which he refers regarding the Exhibition. Earlier in the year of our letter 1857 Peale made prints that he called "Monochrome of Washington." <br /> <br /> When he lectured at the New York Historical Society on June 16 he displayed Washington portraits including a Monochrome decorated with cord and tassel. see journals at Penn State Univ. on line Peale painted his first portrait at the age of 17 of President George Washington in 1795. Over the course of his long and prolific career as portrait painter Peale would paint over 70 pictures of Washington portraits of President Thomas Jefferson as well as Chief Justice John Marshall. In addition to painting the Founding Fathers Peale created many portraits including the one referenced in our letter. Letters of Peale mentioning one of his works are particularly uncommon. Matted with bust length albumen print of the artist attached to a mat possibly not the original mat. Corners of the print are somewhat damaged image is somewhat faded. The portrait print of the artist matches the tone of Peale's letter and creates a handsome pairing. unknown
