EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch, titled "The Crusader" or "The Knight with the Falcon," is a rare and intriguing work by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn, created between 1659 and 1661. The sketch provides a glimpse into the artist's creative process as he prepared for the painting of a powerful and enigmatic figure. The Crusader is depicted as a bearded man with brown hair, wearing a plumed hat and a richly textured, red cloak. He is shown in profile, with his gaze fixed intently on an unseen horizon. In his hand, he cradles the head of a falcon, its wings spread wide, as if ready for flight. The knight's expression is one of intense concentration, suggesting a man deeply engaged in the pursuit of a noble cause. This sketch is a testament to the artistic mastery of Rembrandt, who expertly captures the intricacies of fabric, the subtlety of the model's features, and the dynamic interplay of light and shadow. The Crusader's beard, with its individual hairs meticulously rendered, adds to the sense of realism and depth. The Crusader is a fascinating glimpse into the Dutch Golden Age, a period of cultural and artistic flourishing in the Netherlands. This sketch is now part of the collection of the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, fashion, and the human condition.
