About the piece
Created in 1630, this masterpiece by Rembrandt captures the biblical prophet Jeremiah in a moment of profound lamentation. The work is a quintessential example of the artist's use of chiaroscuro, where dramatic light illuminates the intricate textures of the prophet's garments and the glimmering gold vessels against the encroaching darkness of the background.
