That seems too simplistic a reading. Rembrandt appears almost to have intuited that a good deal of the Netherlands elite’s money, which bankrolled the proliferation of Dutch art in the 17th century, was tainted, perhaps even that it came directly or indirectly from Atlantic slavery. Certainly, the painter never got on with high society Amsterdam. Their portrait commissions didn’t satisfy him and the results, reflecting his determination to look beyond appearances, never pleased them.

Wilhelm von Bode was impressed enough to include both in his set of 595 photogravures for his eight-volume 1898 treatise on Rembrandt. Fromentin and Bode had identified the paintings as portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Daey, but it was the Amsterdam historian Isabella Henriette van Eeghen who painstakingly traced their ownership to their original inventories and established the identities of the portrayed.

The portraits were in the possession of the subjects' heirs until their sale in 1877 to Gustave Samuel de Rothschild, a French banker. [3] They were lent for exhibition once only, to the Rijksmuseum in 1956 for the artist's 350th birthday. [14] Before being sold, they were hung in a large hall in the Van Loon collection, described by Eugène Fromentin in 1877 with the remark that they were examples of Rembrandt at his best and were painted in the same period that Rembrandt painted his Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp, traditionally marking the beginning of his career in Amsterdam. Clearly, the flamboyance of these young newlyweds did more to launch Rembrandt's career as a portrait painter for the Amsterdam upper class than his sober depiction of a class of serious students in Leiden. [15] The entire Van Loon collection was sold to Rothschild for 40,000 pounds, which at the time was over a million francs. [16]

So what if the greatest artist of the golden age did portray these people whose fortune depended on slavery? Portraiture was profitable and Rembrandt needed the money. In 1634, the year he painted this couple, he married Saskia van Uylenburgh, and they had wealthy tastes. Perhaps it means nothing that his clients included not just the filthy rich but also the morally besmirched. A century later, when dominance of the slave trade had passed to Britain, Thomas Gainsborough would paint faces and frills whether his subjects were musicians or slaveowners.

The current joined ownership is a new arrangement for the Louvre and Rijksmuseum, and it remains to be seen whether this experiment in international art purchasing will fit into exhibition plans of both institutions. Unlike many expensive paintings, these two will not be restricted by location and it is expected that they will be on tour regularly. According to Wim Pijbes, director of the Rijksmuseum, the paintings will not be separated, and each museum will own 50 percent of each painting.

He and his wife, who married 9 June 1633,In that same year, 1661, Rembrandt was also working on a rare public commission that could have made him the darling of the Dutch elite again. He was asked to paint a patriotic history for Amsterdam town hall. But instead of a hearty scene of triumph, he painted The Conspiracy of Claudius Civilis, a desperate, Lear-like scene, drawn from an account of the Batavian rebellion in Tacitus’s Histories. Showing rebels agreeing to what looks like a futile suicide pact in an eerie pale light, the work was hated for its bleak view of Dutch history. It is not hard to imagine that those same disabused eyes, that looked so unsparingly at the past, were also directed at the present, and the most shameful secret of Rembrandt’s time: Europe’s exploitation of Africa. Since its creation, Coppit Board Game has been adapted several times in different countries and languages. For instance, in 1890 it was adapted into German as Leiter Hausen, and in Germany it was renamed Spitz Pass Auf! (Be Careful!). It can also be played with two or four players on larger boards when played tournament-style. It’s popularity continued throughout the 20th century when it appeared in popular culture such as comic shops, literature, music, and even made its way on to television shows such as Sesame Street! Pros and Cons of Playing Coppit Board Game In 1634, when he was a 28-year-old art star reeling in commissions by the herring barrel from the Amsterdam elite, Rembrandt van Rijn, the miller’s son from Leiden with a taste for the finer things in life, portrayed a young couple called Marten Soolmans and Oopjen Coppit. The works – they were given a portrait each – are usually seen as yet another example of the genius of Rembrandt, this most all-seeing of artists whose insight raises portraiture to an existential level.
