REMBRANDT Harmenszoon van Rijn: Rembrandt and Saskia in the Scene of the Prodigal Son in the Tavern
A richly dressed couple sits at a tavern table amid revelers, rendered in warm golden light with dramatic chiaroscuro typical of Dutch Golden Age painting. The artist inserts himself and his wife into a biblical parable, merging personal portraiture with moral narrative in an innovative act of self-aggrandizement.
