Description: after Rembrandt van Rijn, The Bittern Hunter (self-portrait, 1639), 20 1/2" x 16 1/4"signed lower right "Franc Osowski 1998" A solid copy of one of Rembrandt's most interesting paintings. This painting of a young Rembrandt holding up a dead bird as though he were the hunter has troubled art scholars for years. Hunting was a highly regulated sport in the Netherlands confined for the most part to the nobility and officers of state, a social class far removed from Rembrandt’s. He himself could not have been a hunter. Thus some suggest that he was trying to elevate his social status by posing as one, others believe his real intention was to symbolize the immortality of painting. condition: excellent with minor scuffs to varnish surface.
