Bride - man looking at Jewish Bride by Rembrandt

I was working on a medium sized painting today and I just completed it when I felt like doing a really small one for a change. I haven't made any in a long time. On the painting you a see man looking at the Jewish Bride by Rembrandt, as seen in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. It was quite difficult to get the heads of the figures straight, my panel being so small and all, but I think I pulled it off.

Tomorrow is a big day by the way. I don't really have to do anything, but my paintings will be shipped to Los Angeles for the LA Art Show. Very exciting! I said earlier that 12 paintings are included in the art fair, but we finally settled on 15 larger scaled paintings and 10 smaller ones. Quite a lot!

kind regards, Gerard Boersma

The Best Men

The painting the two young men are looking at is the worldfamous The Jewish Bride by Rembrandt. The figures on Rembrandts painting probably aren't Jewish at all, most likely they're posing as the biblical figures Isaac and Rebecca. An artdealer in the 19th century though saw in this painting a Jewish father giving his daughter a necklace for her marriage. Since then it was known as The Jewish Bride. It doesn't really matter, my figures are still best men!

kind regards, Gerard Boersma
