A Man in Armor
Dutch / Greco-Roman / Paintings (Reproductions) / Rembrandt - 11 months ago - troycapc
This is a reproduction of “A Man in Armor” of 1655 by Rembrandt van Rijn. This later Rembrandt masterpiece is sub-titled “Alexander the Great” and was created when the artist was forty-nine. He had been a prominent artist and member of the community in Amsterdam for twenty years. Yet Rembrandt was approaching a financial crisis when this masterpiece was produced. The painting shows Rembrandt’s wonderful use of light in his works with the gleam on the helmet also expressed over the heart on the breast-plate. The red robe adds to the dramatic nature of the portrait. This masterpiece is 137 cm wide and 104.5 cm high and is in the City Art Gallery and Museum of Glasgow, Scotland.
