EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Laughing Man" a remarkable painting by Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn, created between 1629 and 1630. The artwork, measuring 15.3x12.2 cm, is housed in the prestigious Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, Netherlands. "The Laughing Man" is an intriguing character study or tronie that depicts a man bursting with laughter. Rembrandt's masterful technique involved scratching the wet paint to reveal the underlying copper plate covered in gold leaf—a unique touch that adds depth and texture to this extraordinary piece. In this portrait from the Dutch Golden Age, we witness a man adorned with a hat and sporting an impressive moustache and beard—typical of the era's fashion trends. His head and shoulders dominate the composition as his infectious laughter fills every corner of the frame. Rembrandt expertly captures not only the physical features but also conveys an array of emotions through his subject's expressive eyes and toothy grin. This painting stands as a testament to Rembrandt's ability to capture human character with unparalleled skill. As you gaze upon this print, immerse yourself in its rich details—the intricate brushwork, vibrant colors, and subtle play of light on copper—and allow yourself to be transported back to Holland during its golden age when art flourished under masters like Rembrandt van Rijn.
