The Angel (after Rembrandt), 1889

Van Gogh painted this Angel after Rembrandt at a time when he was making copies of prints by other artists. He had been in the asylum at Saint-Remy for some months and was suffering greatly from his mental illness, which had recently included episodes of distressing religious manifestations. Religion had formed a large part of Van Gogh's life, and it was a subject that he approached with his own form of spirituality, transferring religious feelings of 'awakening' and light' for example to his symbolic depictions of glowing stars and the sun. Here he has combined a naturalistic head in the manner of Rembrandt with a shimmering transcendental coloring, and the whole is rather disturbing and unresolved.    100% Hand painted art: Size: Various Sizes Available  Medium: Oil Painting on Canvas Type: Reproduction Artist: Vincent van Gogh  Delivery Time: 14-21 days Item #: R-VAN-142 The Angel (after Rembrandt), 1889 by Vincent van Gogh can be reproduced with the same emotions of the o
