Rembrandt | Portrait of an Old Man, 1645

In this painting, Rembrandt turned his attention to the subject of old age, a recurring theme in his work that was also the focus of a large number of self portraits.

The identity of the figure in the painting is, however, unknown.

The rich costume that he is wearing gives no indication of the old man’s occupation or social status.

Rather, it appears to be an accessory belonging to the painter’s studio that he used as a powerfully effective decorative element.

Simeon Nijenhuis, 1969 | Impressionist painter

Simeon Nijenhuis is transforming reality, creating a metaphor, for him the main function of the visual arts. Simeon is also someone who paints from his feeling. From his inner urge he depict topics that fascinate him as vividly as possible. Often, captivating shades, fabric expressions or special light falling on an object, are the reason for making a painting.
Spontaneous and intuitive, he then gets to work to capture this atmosphere. Here he plays with an impressive variety of brushstrokes, subtle shades and textures in the paint. Continuing until the right dynamics versus harmony is found and the optimal power of expression is reached.
