Reinterpretation of "Self-Portrait in a Cap, Open-Mouthed" (etching) | Rembrandt van Rijn | 1630

Rembrandt created some 300 etchings and drypoints from about 1626 to 1665. His career as a printmaker ran parallel to his career as a painter. He rarely treated the same themes in both media and only occasionally did he reproduce his paintings in prints. Above all, he was a great innovator and experimenter in this medium, often handling traditional materials in unconventional ways. His impact on printmaking is still reflected in etchings produced today.

Much like digital art today, He revolutionized the medium, changing it from a reproductive tool to a form of high art.
