More about this artwork
"Rembrandt Laughing" (1628) is an intimate and engaging self-portrait by the eminent Dutch artist, Rembrandt van Rijn. Captured during the artist's early years, this remarkable painting breaks from the somber, contemplative mood often associated with his later works. Here, Rembrandt depicts himself in the throes of laughter, his face animated and eyes twinkling with joy. The spontaneity of the expression is enhanced by the masterful brushwork and the interplay of light and shadow that characterize Rembrandt's technique.The painting showcases Rembrandt's skill in rendering textures, from the glossy sheen of his brown cloak to the soft, lively flesh of his face. The background remains subdued and neutral, focusing the viewer’s attention entirely on the vivid, lively character of the sitter.

Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn was a Dutch draughtsman, painter, and printmaker. An innovative and prolific master in three media, he is generally considered one of the greatest visual artists in the history of art and the most important in Dutch art history. Unlike most Dutch masters of the 17th century, Rembrandt's works depict a wide range of style and subject matter, from portraits and self-portraits to landscapes, genre scenes, allegorical and historical scenes, and biblical and mythological themes as well as animal studies.
