Notas do Editor
- Unique—life story told in pictuere?? STATS PERCENT SELF PORTS irony, study of major netherlandish artists from this century revolves around two really monumental names, vermeer and rembrandt, and in every way they come to us as very opposite—about one we no next to nothing, but about the other we know so much that to study him is feel a kind of intimacy, the intimacy is of course a delusion, but he is unique in that no other artist has left within his body of work such introspection, and this introspection seems to be an open invitation into his life, and we can watch him grow, in art’s finest series of self-portraits, from a cocky and energetic kid, into a confident and headstrong man at the top of his field, then through a series of tragedies turn into a sober middle-aged man, and in the end confront himself with a merciless eye as an old man searching for meaning.
- so starts getting involved in the portraits, helps make him money; this later, from 50s
- Like I said, it was a traditional thing, group ports and militia ports, but rembr changes the formula drastically. for one thing, 18 people involed in the comm, but he paints much more, even kids in there
- kid, wearing a man’s helmet, too big, they would use kids to run gun powder to the musketeers—partly cropped when painting cut down—that dot on him not part of the painting, what that is, honestly, is what happens when you try to scan small details at high fidelity without taking the time to clean the plate of the scanner. ANYWAY, ACTIVE FIGURES, SCENE OF ACTION
- TO GIVE SOME VARIETY, SOME EXTRA VISUAL INTEREST, BUT ALSO ACTIVE FIGURES—TRY TO MOVE IT AWAY FROM BEING A PASSIVE SCENE OF GUYS JUST STANDING AROUND, DRUMMER, POWDERBOY, ACTIVE FIGURES, TURN IT INTO A SCENE OF ACTION, LIKE HE IS ORDERING THEM OUT TO MARCH
- Also tries to give it more profound level of meaning by using allegories and metaphors
- Allegorical figures—GO TO THE RIGHT, OTHERS TO THE LEFT, SO TWO DIFF REALITIES, DEFINED BY DIRECTION OF MOVEMENT, ALSO ARCHIAC COSTUME, PLUS SCALE SMALLER, GUY LOADING A TRANSITION? NOT AS ARCHAIC COSTUME, AND ONLY TURNING THE OTHER WAY
- defintiely allegorical, because not only dangerous, it was technically illegal
- Actually girls, because two of them
- Standard bearer
- it is not thought she did this with ill intention—in fact, it is thought that she believed that since he had been so successful, that he would continue to be, and able to provide for both himself and titus quite ably, so he really didn’t need her half. this would cause him great trouble, because he had been living high on the hog, way beyond his means, and had of course just purchased a large house he could barely afford with a very heavy mortgage, and a total spendthrift, auctions, etc., and his style was beginning to go out of style, and in fact it turned out that he was not able to continue to support himself and titus, and this stipulation in the will was a real dagger in the end. among other things, can’t marry—sued by gertghe, first nurse he had brought in, claimed they had been shacking up and he had promised to marry her. to marry her would have violated the will and been a major problem for him and titus, he denied this charge, but was forced to pay her support, so that added a debt.
- that house really brought him down—NOT JUST PAINTINGS BY HIM, BUT AN AMAZING ART COLLECTION HE HAD AQUIRED, INCLUDING PAINTINGS BY RAPHAEL AND GIORGIONE.
