    Self-Portrait (1659)

    Rembrandt van Rijn (Dutch, 1606–1669)

    A man stares from the shadows, his face lined with time. Light catches his furrowed brow, the heavy gaze holding something unspoken. The dark cloak swallows his shoulders, but those eyes—sharp, weary—refuse to look away.

  • Portrait of a Lady with a Lap Dog (ca 1665)

    Portrait of a Lady with a Lap Dog (ca 1665)

    Rembrandt van Rijn (Dutch, 1606–1669)

    A woman in rich fabrics cradles a small dog, its fur ruffled under her fingers. Shadows pool in the folds of her sleeve, light catching the gold thread along her collar. The dog’s dark eyes meet yours, alive and watchful, while her gaze rests somewhere just beyond the frame.

  • Belshazzar’s feast (from 1634 until 1639)

    Belshazzar’s feast (from 1634 until 1639)

    Rembrandt van Rijn (Dutch, 1606–1669)

    A ghostly hand etches fiery letters across the banquet hall as golden goblets slip from trembling fingers. The revelry dies mid-laugh—royal faces frozen between arrogance and terror. Babylon’s last feast shatters beneath divine judgment scrawled in light upon the wall.

  • The raising of Lazarus (after Rembrandt)

    The raising of Lazarus (after Rembrandt)

    Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853–1890)

    A shrouded figure emerges from shadow, half-alive, as bystanders recoil in awe. The air hums with tension between death and revival, light clawing at the darkness. Rembrandt’s ghost lingers in the strokes, but the scene pulses with raw, urgent energy—less a miracle, more a struggle.
