Today I want speak you about Rembrant, specifically about an auto-portrait painted by hem. Rembrandt is the prototype of the baroque painter. This type of painter was very interest in the light principles, in where the conjunction of the light and shade were very important in the elaboration of the artistic work.

The auto-portraits of Rembrandt call me the attention because it shows you the evolution of Rembrandt in three ambits: moral, esthetic and physical.

Is obvious that the physical aspect change and this is very evident in the pictures or auto-portrait. Rembrandt painted this process in a serial of auto-portraits, showing whit that the course of time in the appearance of the persons. But the aspect most important is how this process is related with the moral change observed in the people, and also in one artist, with the change in the esthetic conceptions.

The firsts auto-portraits of Rembrandt show them how a painter painting with précises brush-stroke, predominance of the warm colors, and Rembrandt showing an aspect melancholic but not sad. But with the course of time, the last auto-portraits of this painter show it to Rembrandt using a brush-stroke not précises, structuring vague shape. This change is concordant with a moral change in Rembrandt: this painter started to practice a rigorous Protestantism, for that, the common interpreting is that this change helped in the change esthetic practice hem. In the last   auto-portrait Rembrandt wear the predominance of cold colors, and this related with one sight sad and resigned, configuring a work artistic very near to the sensation of the inevitable passing of the time, and every the fatalism of this situation.
