The Great Jewish Bride is a 1634 by Rembrandt, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white etching shows a woman sitting in a chair, dressed in a heavy fur coat and a ruffled collar. Her hands rest on her lap, and her gaze is steady but serious. The background is dark, with a window and some furniture barely visible. The artist used deep shadows and light to make the fur and her face stand out. This was a common trick in Rembrandt’s work. Look up chiaroscuro to learn how artists use light and shadow like this.
Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (15 July 1606 – 4 October 1669), known mononymously as Rembrandt, was a Dutch Golden Age painter, printmaker, and draughtsman.
