Ten years ago Getty] acquired this wonderful Rembrandt self-portrait. Intently interested in the expression of human emotion, Rembrandt often used himself as his own model in his early years. Here, in a small and freely painted work, from ~1628, he appears in the guise of a soldier, relaxed and engaging the viewer with a laugh.
For this sophisticated self-portrait, painted at age twenty-one or twenty-two, Rembrandt combines a study of character and emotion (known in Dutch as a tronie) with a rare jovial self-presentation. The lively, short brushwork in the face and brisk handling of the neutral background convey a sense of spontaneity and immediacy.
This is one of a small number of paintings by Rembrandt from the late 1620s executed on copper. You can see it in person Getty] in the East Pavilion Gallery of The Getty Center, or learn more and take a close online at getty.edu anytime

We can’t wait to visit to see Jónsi's FLÓÐ (Flood). Created specifically for the Museum by (Jón Þór Birgisson), lead singer of the world-famous Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós, FLÓÐ is the focus of the artist's first museum exhibition in the United States. It’s on view through July. We love partnering with the National Nordic Museum in Seattle, and original exhibits like this give you an idea why! The exhibition highlights the natural connections between the coastal cities of Seattle and Reykjavik, which became sister cities in 1986. Changing environmental conditions within the gallery will engage the visitors’ senses of hearing, sight, and smell to transport them to the ocean.
