Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn 1881 - 1884

Hans Makart's "Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn" is a painting from the late 19th century that depicts a portrait of the famous Dutch painter. The central figure, Rembrandt, is shown in an oval frame, surrounded by a nude woman and a nude man who seem to be unveiling the image. The artwork's rich, painterly style and dramatic composition were characteristic of Makart's work, and the inclusion of nudity added to the piece's sensuality, which resonated with audiences of the time.
