Getting started with the collection:
Turbaned Soldier on Horseback
Rembrandt van Rijn (mentioned on object), c. 1629
At times, it is not at all obvious what Rembrandt is trying to tell us. For example, in the top print he depicts a horseman, without any indication of what exactly is going on. In the bottom print, a cavalry encounter, with much clashing of arms, seems to be taking place; however, that does not explain what is happening. Perhaps Rembrandt was interested chiefly in rendering chaos and movement.
