Studying the key artists who came before us is a great place to start when understanding the subtle techniques of a master. This Rembrandt van Rijn self-portrait from 1669 (at the age of 63) is particularly important. By the time he created this artwork, the artist has had a full career honing his skills and perfecting the process and this is the result: a chiaroscuro composition, with a focus on the figure only, with subtle transitions in the impasto and velatura techniques.
