在自画像这一艺术形式的爱好者中，很少有人能企及伦勃朗·哈尔曼松·范·莱因对自画像所做出的开创性贡献。伦勃朗挑战了其前辈们所确立的传统，将这种艺术形式转变为一种能够充分传达情感深度的成熟媒介，而非仅仅是用华丽的奢侈品来美化个人形象以达到不朽的效果。这位荷兰艺术家创作了80多幅涵盖油画、版画和素描的自画像作品，他毕生的自画像创作实践，成为了将转瞬即逝的事物具体化的一种方式。在四十年的创作历程中，有一个特点在不同媒介和风格的作品中都尤为突出——伦勃朗致力于从多个视角展现自己，赞美个体的多样性，并倡导对情感表达进行不加掩饰的描绘。

除了伦勃朗一系列自画像中所蕴含的主题思想外，这些作品本身也充满了技法上的创新与探索。在他的整个自画像作品集中，都洋溢着一种鲜明的人性光辉。每一笔富有表现力的笔触，每一处朦胧的细节，都构成了对他自身毫不避讳的真实刻画，展现出他的种种缺点、不同的情绪状态以及人生的各个阶段。

这本专著收录了伦勃朗所有的自画像——从他22岁时的首次尝试，到他去世前一年创作的最后一幅自画像，见证了他一生致力于在内容和形式上革新绘画实践的历程。

Few devotees of the form can approach Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn’s radical contributions to self-portraiture. Challenging the conventions enshrined by his predecessors, Rembrandt transformed the art into a fully realized medium capable of communicating emotional depth rather than favorably immortalizing one’s likeness in the finest trappings of luxury. With more than 80 works spanning paintings, etchings, and drawings, the Dutchman’s lifelong practice of self-portraiture functions as a means of concretizing that which is fleeting. Across four decades, one constant is particularly striking across media and styles—Rembrandt’s dedication to presenting himself from multiple perspectives, celebrating the multiplicity of the individual and championing the unfiltered portrayal of emotional expression.

Apart from the thematic concerns present within Rembrandt’s suite of self-portraits, the works themselves are rich with technical innovation and experimentation. There is an unmistakable humanity present across the entirety of this oeuvre, each expressive brushstroke and obfuscated feature amounting to an unflinchingly honest characterization of himself, in all his foibles, contrasting states of feeling, and stages of life.

This monograph renders all of Rembrandt’s self-portraits – from his first experimentations at age twenty-two to his final self-portrait painted a year before his death – and stands testament to a life committed to revolutionizing painterly practice both in content and form.
