Stephen Matthews: Sonnets after Works by Rembrandt

Rembrandt’s self portraits are a unique autobiography. They trace the inner life of one of the world’s greatest artists. Stephen Matthews reviews Rembrandt’s life in a series of sonnets based on his self portraits and other pictures. They show how his life changed from the enthusiasm and confidence of his early years to the doubt and despair of a bankrupt who’d experienced the death of his wife, his mistress and all his children.
