Rembrandt van Rijn, 1661 - Self Portrait as the Apostle Paul - fine art print

(© Copyright - Rijksmuseum - Rijksmuseum)

This is Rembrandt’s first and only self portrait in the guise of a biblical figure. The manuscript and the sword projecting from his cloak are Paul’s traditional attributes. Like the other apostles Rembrandt painted in the same period, Paul too is a real, everyday person. By using his own likeness here Rembrandt encourages a direct bond with the saint.
