Légende

Two African Men, 1661, (1967). In the Dutch seventeenth century Africans were usually depicted as secondary figures: for example as enslaved individuals or figures in a Bible scene. But here Rembrandt has made them the main subject - presumably these were free men who lived in Amsterdam. Rembrandt painted the men in very thin layers of paint. Although he depicted their faces, like the white shawl, in great detail, many other parts are only sketchily painted. The painting looks like an unfinished study, but the artist signed it: Rembrandt f 1661 - made by Rembrandt in 1661. Painting in the Mauritshuis, The Hague. From "Rembrandt" by Ludwig Münz and Bob Haak, [Harry N. Abrams, Inc., New York, 1967]
