Joseph was the favorite among Jacob's twelve sons, which made for some very jealous brothers. As this gathering shows, reactions are mixed as the teenager recounts his dreams. In one, Joseph and his brothers bundled up sheaves of grain, and their sheaves bowed toward Joseph's. In the other dream, the sun, moon, and stars revered Joseph, prophesying his family's veneration of him. Alarmed, the brothers decide to sell Joseph into slavery. As illustrated in Joseph's Coat Brought to Jacob, they soak Joseph's many-colored coat with goat's blood and show it to Jacob to convince him that a wild beast had attacked and killed his son.

man with long white beard and glasses seated at LR, writing, behind a stumpy tree with thick trunk and thin branches on right side only; big cat's face at left looking out from behind tree
This image seems to have begun as a straightforward study of a willow tree, battered by violent weather and disfigured by harvesters taking its branches. As Rembrandt's imagination took hold, the wizened tree became both haven and metaphor for the aged saint, who carries on his studies at his ramshackle desk. With a few strokes of his etching needle, Rembrandt moved the scene from Holland's flat terrain to an alpine valley with a waterfall. This print, acquired by Mia in 2009, is a major addition to the museum's collection of Rembrandt etchings. The copper plate used to print this image deteriorated quickly, but this impression was printed while the plate was still fresh. This is the finest example to have appeared on the market in more than 50 years.

This self-portrait by Rembrandt features the artist in his later years, employing dramatic chiaroscuro to highlight his weathered face and thoughtful expression. The use of deep, rich colors and textured brushstrokes captures an introspective moment, typical of Rembrandt's masterful ability to convey depth of character.

In 1624 the city of Amsterdam erected the obelisk pictured here to mark its expanded boundary along the Spaardammerdijk River toward the town of Haarlem. Rembrandt romanticized the view of the relatively barren landscape, adding features and making the obelisk appear considerably larger than it actually was. Look closely to see that he initially drew it with an orb on top, just reaching the top of the image. Giving the etching needle greater dimension, he more firmly anchored the entire image. To the right is a farmhouse. The big peaked, thatched roof covers the animal barn, and the gabled section is the farmer's residence. The two structures were contiguous in order to preserve precious warmth during the cold, damp Dutch winters. Rembrandt shows it is time to prepare for another winter, for the roof of the hayrick-just behind the marker-is lowered, indicating the hay has been used up. A tiny figure in the distance carries a scythe for cutting hay to refill the rick.

Early in his career, Rembrandt catered to the popular demand for history paintings-high-minded narratives of biblical or historical scenes. These works were judged on how realistically the artist conveyed dramatic emotion. With that in mind, Rembrandt spent hours in front of the mirror making faces at himself and recording what he saw. Thus, while revealing as self-portraits, these head studies show Rembrandt's lifelong interest in exploring human expressions and making them integral to his work. Because copper was so expensive, he would sketch several heads on one plate and cut it apart, which is why these prints are so tiny. In an unprecedented program of self-portraiture, Rembrandt depicted his likeness at least 40 times in paintings and 31 times in prints.
