completed The Night Watch that Rem- brandt’s beloved wife, Saskia, died. He would never be the same again. There was a period when he stopped painting and receiving commissions, and a peri- od when he went through turbulent and tragic events with his lovers, losing his money and reputation.
cheeky, broke the conventions of the por- trait of the epoch. In order to look into his eye, you must look into the shadow, which masterly commands the viewer’s atten- tion. The old man looking at us in the 1661 self-portrait, with a facial expression that words can’t do justice in trying to explain, is an aged Rembrandt, weary and poor, who lost his beloved wife years before.
ALL REMBRANDT’S SORROWS
ALL REMBRANDT’S HUMANS
Many art historians divide Rem- brandt’s works into the periods before and after Saskia’s death. Many believe that he grew into a better artist during the sec- ond phase. Without the pressure of nu- merous commissions, chiselled by life’s hardships and emotions, the artist was exploring the ne nuances of his feelings and his artistic talent and skill. This is evident in the painting known as The Jewish Bride, c. 1665. The paint strokes go from the subtlest to the most voluminous, which almost burst out of the painting. The details were carved in a most unconventional way - using the tip of the paintbrush’s handle! The light, ma- terialisation and colour suggest the unity of several kinds of love between the two people depicted. In just these two gures, the old Rembrandt tells us of so many nu- ances of their feelings and the entire dra- ma of the moment.

Bez optere- ćenja brojnih porudžbina, brušen životnim događanjima i emocija- ma, umetnik istražuje tančine svo- jih osećanja i svog slikarskog ta- lenta i veštine. O tome svedoči slika poznata kao Jevrejska mlada , nastala oko 1665. Nanosi boje variraju od naj- tanjih mogućih do voluminoznih, koji skoro da izlaze u prostor van slike. U njih su detalji urezani ne- konvencionalnim sredstvom – vr- hom drške slikarske četke! Svetlost, materija i boja sugerišu sjedinjava- nje nekoliko aspekata ljubavi izme- đu dvoje ljudi. Kroz samo dve figure stari Rembrant pripoveda mnoge nijanse njihovih osećanja i svu dra- mu trenutka.
In 1642, when he completed The Night Watch, his most famous paint- ing, Rembrandt was a husband and a father to a baby boy, a man at the peak of his artistic fame, recognition and fi- nancial well-being. The Night Watch, the original title of which is Militia Company of District II under the Command of Captain Frans Banninck Cocq, and which isn’t a night scene at all, but rather a day scene, is probably one of the best known paint- ings in the entire history of art. What sets it apart from other masterpieces on display at world museums is that, both on it and in front of it, humans – both viewers and those portrayed – move, talk, touch and giggle, both natural- ly and ceremonially. They are all Rem- brandt’s humans. It was during the same year that he
