That's not a painting of his son's wedding. That's The Jewish Bride.

I find it interesting that your comment does not include the main reason for this analysis(the use of hidden images)..whether or not this was Rembrandt's son is not the important element..it is the use of a 'witness' to a wedding..he was not the only painter to do so..I invite you to look at Van Eycks wedding portrait also..

thanks for you comment..

Yes Saul, you are so right on your discoveries of hidden figures by Rembrandt. The art of seeing you see, is usually seen differently by most everyone. People in general see things as they themselves want to see things, not as the artist in question, the absolute real artist of the work of art.  The copyist's have no idea of these questionable discoveries and have no ways of reproducing their effects as to the satisfaction of the original artist or the connoisseurs of that particular artist.

You are so right with your discoveries of hidden figures by Rembrandt, but they are questionable to where they are actually seen by other viewers.  As it is well know, everyone seems to see quite differently, as Rembrandt and Vincent would tell it.. The art of seeing you see, is a art in itself, usually seen by the artist in question, the one who happened to be the real artist, not the MFA copyists.

Um, definitely not the eye socket, unless rembrandt is like 10 feet tall. I can see the profile of a nose and mouth, which is more reasonable without the giant eye socket because a profile view would mean the eye is hidden behind his wife.

IDIOT!

This makes sense. Thanks for sharing. It is not uncommon. When I studied Art History, we were taught this for Italian painters; Masaccio, della Francesca...Even Watteau with Rococo art had hidden symbolism based on contemporary court/fan language. I think it is an interesting comment.

Because you don't look is no reason to question those who do..I have many many other examples of Rembrandt's use of hidden images..look at his etchings and drawings without a point of view and you might learn..

this, is, fucking, retarded, divinci code, wanna be's

[bernsart]

I could introduce you to other examples..many, many other Rembrandt's and other greats did the same..it is called hidden symbols and it was used in other mediums as well..in other cultures and other times since humans started to 'create' their world the use of the 'hidden' was used..

thanks for your partially correct analysis

[befranklintoo]

it is not hidden anything. as a painter the over lays can be scene from the glazing process. if anything consistent brush strokes cause a illusion of other faces and objects.

it up to ones imagination

[bernsart]

I just now discovered your comments..I agree with you 100%..it is funny that when one presents the fact of this that so many don't want to believe..they have bought into the photograph is king idea..they don't want to use their brain power to think why is Rembrandt one of the greats and others are not..

thanks again
