1647
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Portrait of Jan Six is a 1647 by Rembrandt, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting shows a man sitting in a chair. He's dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The man is Jan Six, and this painting is special because it's a simple portrait that tells us about the person. The artist used light and shadow to create depth. This makes the painting feel more real. To learn more about this style, look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
