The visage of Rembrandt’s “Danae” It is known that Rembrandt started painting “Danae” two years after he married Saskia van Eilenburyh. The reason why the similarity to Saskia is not as strong as it is in his other 1630s paintings and why the technique the artist adopts is more akin to his later work has remained a mystery for a long time. The artist frequently included his wife in his paintings.
