This self portrait of Dutch artist Rembrandt, Rembrandt Laughing, was painted when he was in his early 20s, around 1628. It’s on a copper plate just under 9″ X 7″ and is being purchased by the Getty Museum for an undisclosed price, but experts believe it will run into the tens of millions of dollars. The Getty Museum’s director, Timothy Potts, calls Rembrandt’s depiction of himself over the years his “most sustained and remarkable achievement. We feel we know Rembrandt better than any other artist who lived because we see his face in portraits from when he was a young man in his 20s, just starting out, virtually all the way through to his death. So he’s in a sense his own greatest subject, and these are among the most admired works he ever made.” (Full story at LATimes)
