In the player's card identified the young Rembrandt
 

Jan Livens, Netherlandish painter of XVII century, captured the young Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn in the painting "The players in the card, written in 1623-1624, respectively. Such a conclusion was an art critic Arthur Wheelock (Arthur Wheelock) from the National Gallery of Art in Washington. On conclusion of the expert told the newspaper The Independent. More detailed material should appear in the new issue of the publication of The Art Newspaper.
Wheelock recalled that Livens, who wrongly believe a follower of Rembrandt, though he was an independent master, and the author of "Night Watch" and other great paintings studied together at the Amsterdam painter Pieter Lastman. Known portrait by Rembrandt, made Livensom in 1629. Professor Wheelock sees similarities between this image and the central figure of "Players Card" - a cheerful beardless man with a pipe in his hand, blue-green piece of cloth thrown over his shoulder. If the hypothesis of Professor Wilcock is correct, then at the end of Rembrandt paintings Livensom was 16 years old.
Painting Livensa "players card" is located in a private meeting, but prior to August 2009 she exhibited at the exhibition of the artist at Amsterdam's Museum Rembrandt House. "
Rembrandt during his life wrote a series of self-portraits, most of them he painted himself thoughtful or sad. Only in 2008, critics have identified the only known his "laughing" self-portrait.

Something does not look like he was at sixteen. Over looks.

What do you mean 16?
All 26!

On Friday, had the good fortune to visit the Dresden Art Gallery. Is there a picture "Prodigal Son in the Tavern" (Rembrandt and Saskia). It is believed that the painting Rembrandt painted himself. Similarity is clearly evident.

And she hangs on a wall color?

dedulya37, possibly a color photo of course a little distorted, as filmed on a mobile. But the color of the walls there is really interesting, in different wings of the museum it is different.

vyadem,

Thank you very much. Interestingly, when the Germans brought the collection to us for review again?

SergeiSK, and the truth is very similar .....( he often portrayed himself to etchings ).... Could it be true in 16 he was a hamster ....

Outward similarity there, but surely in the 17th century, sixteen young people look ten years older? We see life was heavy, medieval:)

Well if you keep up with their group or go through another route, you can walk alone:) .. although in this case do not listen to the guide ... I came upon Dr. Willi ... (more do not remember) ... but he introduced himself simply Willi ... intersno told, it is not bland ..

Then he looked at the people there:)
But with such beauty Engineers can learn any number of people, but better still, when people were smaller:)
