1633 -1642 · wife, model and historical figure
Saskia van Uylenburgh appears in Rembrandt as an observed wife, crowned Flora, costumed shepherdess and possible Bathsheba: biography and pictorial invention are superimposed on it.
Saskia van Uylenburgh met Rembrandt through the network of her cousin, the merchant Hendrick van Uylenburgh, then married him in 1634. Coming from a wealthy Frisian family, she became a frequent model in the years of success amstellodamoise. Her direct portraits fix her face, hat or rich clothing, but Rembrandt also transforms her into a character. Saskia en Flore combines young wife, fertility, spring and historical portrait. A young woman as a shepherdess extend this pastoral costume game. Saskia's identification in Bathsheba shows how a familiar face can be integrated into a biblical story, sometimes based on tradition rather than absolute certainty. Saskia knows several child mournings before Titus' birth in 1641 and died in 1642. The works should therefore not be reduced to a happy chronicle. The selection "Saskia in the work of Rembrandt" notably compares Saskia van Uylenburgh, the artist's wife and Saskia en Flore. His reading favors figures.
Saskia is neither just a muse nor a simple model: her face allows Rembrandt to circulate the intimate between portrait, allegory and history.
