Autorretrato

1660

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 616

En cada década de su carrera, Rembrandt pintó por lo menos una docena de autorretratos, cuya composición, expresión y técnica varía considerablemente. En las obras tardías, gruesas pinceladas describen con fidelidad su semblante envejecido. Los autorretratos de Rembrandt ya eran muy apreciados por los coleccionistas durante su vida.

The Poet of the Information Desk

Robyn Schiff returns to The Met to read from her poem, Information Desk: An Epic in which she recounts what it was like to work at the Museum while establishing herself as a young writer.

A cartoon image of The Met's facade with a cartoon sun shining light rays down on the building, beside an inset still-life painting of blue irises in a vase on a green table. Bottom text reads hashtag MetKids and an icon indicating a microscope.
