Original artwork by André Romijn. Study of Bathsheba after Willem Drost.

As a student of Rembrandt, Willem's painting titled 'Bathsheba' was inspired by Rembrandt's painting done in the same year (1654) on the same subject and given the same title, though their treatments are rather different. Both Drost's and Rembrandt's paintings are in the Louvre in Paris.

Drost died much too young in Venice, just two months before his 26th birthday. A great painter lost!

On view this Spring at The Portrait Painting Gallery in Barga, Tuscany, Italy.

Solitude, the title of this portrait was painted during the current pandemic. As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, many people are in lack of contact with others. Subject to their own situation, this could have positive and negative effects. Positive effects, like more freedom or increased sense of spirituality, could spark a person’s creativity. Negative effects however, could trigger some physiological response that increase health risks.

Hope you will find more about your creative talents!

This painting will be at The Portrait Painting Gallery in Barga, Tuscany, Italy coming Spring.
