The painting I'll be discussing is a 'Self Portrait' (1658) by Rembrandt, in the Frick Collection, New York.

One in a series of Gallery Talks on Zoom, called ‘My Favourite Paintings', to concentrate your thoughts on Art History.

Each talk is on one painting. I share insights, discuss aspects such as the subject matter, historical and social context of the painting, the life of the artist and the techniques and materials they empIoyed. The talk will last for 30 minutes, plus 10 minutes in which to answer questions from the chat box.
