Head of an Angel, after Rembrandt (Tête d’ange, d’après Rembrandt), 1889 by Vincent van Gogh

Head of an Angel, after Rembrandt, painted by Vincent van Gogh in 1889 reworks a luminous angel’s face and folded wings from Rembrandt’s The Raising of Lazarus, rendered in glowing blues and pale golden light around the downcast features. Painted that September during his stay at the Saint-Paul asylum in Saint-Rémy, the copy reflects Van Gogh’s deep admiration for Rembrandt’s mastery of light and inner feeling, translated here into his own dense, rhythmic brushwork.

Artist: Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853-1890). Date: 1889.
