Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Taking license from Just Kids, Patti Smith’s 2010 memoir of her youthful, intense working friendship with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, this essay examines Rembrandt’s artistic friendships with his colleague Jan Lievens, and his first pupil, Gerrit Dou. The burst of competitive, extreme co-creativity of Rembrandt and Lievens during their Leiden years comes to a head in their rendering of the raising of Lazarus; its strains are evident in Rembrandt’s Oriental heads. The life-long, seemingly more sustained friendship of Rembrandt and Dou is encapsulated in Dog at rest, Dou’s homage to his master as exemplary teacher. These two working relationships point not only to the power of artists serving as each other’s muses, but also to the need for further investigation into the value, and exploitation, of friendships for Rembrandt. |
