렘브란트의 자화상에 대한 연구 = A Study on the Rembrandt's Self-Portrait

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

It would be through the self-portrait in which the paint expresses himself/herself, including the temporal background and mentality of artistic activity, that we can best understand one artist, of several genres of painting. Form such perspective, Rembrandt Vna Rijn(1606∼1669), the best painter of Dutch origin and one of greatest painters in the western history of painting can be singled out as the paint frankly expressive of the inner world in history without any exaggeration.
He autobiographically left about 100 pieces of self-portrait(including etching, dessin and the like) at every critical moment throughout his life and is regarded as the painter drawing the largest number of self-portraits in the world as well.
In his painting works, we can read his spiritual world and artistic vestiges though the self-portrait peculiarly expressive of his own inner world using light and shade. This study attempted to investigate why he left so many self-portraits, the meaning and expressive method of light and shade and the effect or Rembrandt Van Rijn on the art history.
And this study attempted to describe what is the ego proper to the human being in the difficulty in understanding contemporary art and how the manifestation of the painter's self-consciousness appears to be imaged and changes by dividing it chronologically.
The expressive means for the painter to image his self-consciousness are several media, and Rembrandt Van Rijn also produced his own self-portraits using the formative language through diverse media such as oil painting, etching, drawing and the like. But this study limited its scope to the self-portrait produced with oil painting and chronologically important individual portraits and collective portraits of his painting works.
