“Of course you will say that I ought to be practical and ought to try to paint the way they want me to paint. Well, I will tell you a secret. I have tried and I have tried very hard, but I can’t do it. I just can’t do it! And that is why I am just a little crazy.” Rembrandt Van Rijn
“The self-portraits from the end of his life are superb……The way in which it’s always Rembrandt that you see, in an image which changes each time, it’s really astonishing, magnificent.” Francis Bacon.
