| Description historique: | |
Inspired by one of the most celebrated biblical parables from the Old Testament, this depiction of the Angel departing is one of mystery, intrigue, hope, and inspiration. The parable follows the journey of Tobias, the son of the blind and deaf Tobiat, who was sent to collect money that was owed to the family. Tobias was accompanied by a skilled and helpful traveler who was, in fact, the angel Raphael in disguise. Throughout his journey, the Angel had protected and uplifted Tobias during times of hardship and had even encouraged him to marry. After years of being apart from his family, the Angel had reunited Tobias with his mother and father in an emotional homecoming. Rembrandt has captured this scene at the moment when the Angel departs, much to the surprise and piety of the family. Created in the 17th century after an original etching by Harmensz van Rijn Rembrandt (Leiden, 1606 - Amsterdam, 1669) by a student or follower of Rembrandt. This work, in mirror image to the original, has several miscellaneous pencil notations on the reverse from prior collectors.

La biographie de The School of Rembrandt
Harmensz van Rijn Rembrandt's (Leiden, 1606 - Amsterdam, 1669) school in Amsterdam was one of the busiest art enterprises of the 17th century. As a talented and popular teacher with more than 50 documented students, Rembrandt created not only a name for himself but for his school as well. His name lives on through his own vast artistic oeuvre and through the works that his students created that greatly resemble his artistic style. From paintings to drawings to etchings, his students explored a variety of artistic mediums, creating works of great artistic merit.
Drawing, in particular, played a crucial role in Rembrandt's teaching methods.
Rembrandt would create drawings for his students to imitate, and he and his
pupils would sketch the same models and landscapes side by the side. As a result
of these immersive training methods, Rembrandt's drawings and those of his students
retain many stylistic similarities.
Works by the School of Rembrandt display traits that define Rembrandt's artistic
style: the delicate handling of line, rendering of expressions and gestures,
and description of light. Rembrandt's works display an active use of light and
shadow on his figures creating a dramatic chiaroscuro effect while his subjects
appear to come to life with their remarkably detailed and human expressions.
His students learned such methods from him and expertly applied them to their
own works.
Amongst some of Rembrandt's more notable students are Ferdinand Bol (1616 -1680),
Gerrit Dou (1613-1675), Carel Fabritius (1622 - 1654), Govert Flinck (1615 -
1660), and Samuel van Hoogstraten (1627 - 1678).
