Rembrandt’s 1658 masterpiece went on view at its new home in the Agnes Etherington Art Centre at Queen’s University in late April. A recent gift of Drs. Alfred and Isabel Bader, and the third work by Rembrandt van Rijn to be added to The Bader Collection, the painting is one of the most significant portraits of the artist’s later career. Art historian Jacquelyn N. Coutré explores the story behind the portrait in terms of the evolution of Rembrandt’s painting technique and the triumph of the artist to overcome both personal and professional adversity. Dr. Coutré is the Bader Curator and Researcher of European Art at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre.
