The Jewish Bride, c. 1667

Rembrandt

Oil on canvas · 121.5 x 166.5 cm

A couple's hands rest together in a gesture Van Gogh once called impossibly tender.

A man tenderly rests his hand on a woman's breast as she lightly touches his — a portrait of pure marital tenderness. Rembrandt lays on gold and red in thick, glowing paint; van Gogh said he would give years of his life to sit before it.
