About This Piece

Portrait of a Gentleman with a Tall Hat and Gloves - Rembrandt van Rijn - Hallway Wall Art suits both traditional and modern interiors. As a portrait oil painting, it works as a standalone focal point or as part of a hallway gallery wall, and unlike a print it is genuinely hand painted in oils.

Composition & Subject

circa 1658-1660
Oil on canvas
100 cm (39.37 in.) x 83 cm (32.68 in.)
National Gallery of Art - Washington DC, United States.

Here Rembrandt, as in most of his late portraits, was more concerned with a personal interpretation of the sitter’s character and thoughts than in merely portraying a likeness, however accurate. This subjective approach contributed to the decline of his popularity at a time when the more flattering style of portraiture, introduced by Van Dyck was in vogue. It is recorded that a Portuguese patron asked Rembrandt to refund money paid in advance for a portrait of a lady ordered by him because it was not a true likeness. Rembrandt refused.

As hallway wall art, the piece pairs naturally with other classical wall art and with warm neutrals, timber, and soft natural light.

How It Is Made

Materials matter for classical wall decor. That is why this piece is built on artist-grade canvas with lightfast oil colors, applied by hand rather than output from a printer, and sealed for long-term display.
