Rembrandt's Late Religious Portraits

The late 1650s and early 1660s saw Rembrandt create a remarkable series of half-length portraits of religious figures, reflecting his personal struggles and deep faith during a challenging period. This catalog accompanies an exhibition featuring seventeen of these evocative works, which have never been shown together before. Scholars explore the identities of the depicted figures, including apostles and saints, while addressing questions of attribution and the connections among the paintings. Lavishly illustrated, this volume enhances the understanding of Rembrandt's profound artistic contributions.
