Led by Justine Rinnooy Kan, former Dorset Curatorial Fellow at the National Gallery, this video grants you unprecedented access to Rembrandt's iconic work.
Here, Rembrandt carefully illuminates the skin of his face, portraying the early signs of aging and imperfections that add a sense of realism to the portrait.
Join us as we unravel the enigmatic layers of his self-portrait, a captivating piece that stands as a testament to the Dutch master's exceptional talent.
Rembrandt's 'Self Portrait at the Age of 34' is currently on loan to Brighton Museum & Art Gallery.
To celebrate our Bicentenary, 12 paintings from the collection are being lent to 12 venues across the UK. See various locations and visit: https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/exhibitions/across-the-uk/national-treasures
