The Artist in His Studio Emily McDougall
Rembrandt van Rijn

The work of art I chose was ‘The Artist in His Studio’ by Rembrandt van Rijn. I chose this work of art because it stood out to me because the easel was intriguing by not showing the artwork on the front of it. This painting is painted on wood panel with oil paints. It is 25 by 32 centimetres in size, which is relatively small.
This painting is good representation of Rembrandt’s work because it uses warm earth tones and rich colours as well as chiaroscuro. Rembrandt was influenced by Caravaggio which is evident in this picture with the contrast of the dark background and bright light source. The light looks as though it is coming from the top left corner but there is the illusion that it is coming from the painting itself. The painting’s colours are almost monochromatic except for his clothing.
The view of the painting is unusual because it features an easel, but you cannot see what is on it. With the easel not facing the viewer it creates a sense of mystery which leaves your imagination to wander. The easel is also very large and takes up about a third of the panel. There is an obvious imbalance between the easel and the artist that makes the artist seem insignificant in comparison because he is short and quite round while the easel is tall and square.
In the painting there are many details that might go unseen without looking closely. The artist in the painting is holding two paintbrushes, one in each hand. The expression on his face is in a surprised confused state, as though he is intimidated by the work he has just completed or he does not know what else he should add to his work. This is a feeling most artists probably feel when nearing the completion of a painting.
There is a sense of imagination because you can’t see the front of the painting and it makes you wonder about what he’s looking at. This painting’s meaning is different for everyone, because it depends on what the painting brings out in your memories or how you look at its different qualities. Heather from the People’s Media Company said “The fact that he does not show the canvas that he is working on makes a statement, that the painter should be recognized as a person and not just by his work.”
