The Centuries Old, Heartbreaking, Beautiful Love Story Of Rembrandt And His Wife, Saskia

VISUAL Posted: December 30, 2018 10:30 am

“Rembrandt was 28 when he married Saskia in 1634; 36 when she died, leaving him with a baby son and a sorrow so destructive he gave up painting in oils for several years. The measure of his loss is apparent, too, in the nature of these images of Saskia and their happiness, made before (and in one case after) her death. Here is the artist’s heart.” – The Observer (UK)
