Around 1640 -1667 · Amsterdam, character study and biblical story
Rabbis, young men and biblical couple testify to Rembrandt's interest in faces, oriental costumes and Jewish history in 17th-century Amsterdam.
Rembrandt works in a neighborhood of Amsterdam where Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jewish communities live, but old painting titles do not always guarantee the real identity of the models. The words "rabbi" or "young person" jewish" were often later attributed from a beard, headgear or costume. We must therefore distinguish between documented portrait, head study and biblical character. The Bust of a Young Jew favors facial lighting and the observation of a presence. The two rabbi figures explore age, substance and authority without biographical certainty. The Jewish Bride probably represents Isaac and Rebecca: her romantic title is late, while the hands and the material of the clothes makes the relationship extraordinarily concrete. The selection "Rabbins and Jewish Figures of Rembrandt" notably compares The Jewish Bride and Bust of a Young Jew. His reading favors the material.
This collection can be read with caution: in Rembrandt, a face can be a neighbor, a workshop model, a character study or a biblical character without his costume being enough to decide.
