About the artwork

Marten Soolmans & Oopjen Coppit . Rembrandt painted the marriage portraits at the age of 28, commissioned by the two young marrieds Marten Soolmans and Oopjen Coppit in Amsterdam in 1634. The portraits, more than two meters tall, then remained in private hands for nearly 400 years. Rembrandt painted the marriage portraits at the age of 28, commissioned by the two young marrieds in 1634 in Amsterdam.
The meticulous rendering of the rich costumes, the agility of the figures, and the nuanced lighting make these paintings among Rembrandt's masterpieces. The portraits also depict a milestone in Dutch history: the rise of the ambitious, young Republic in the Golden Age. The fact that these two citizens of Amsterdam were portrayed with such regal allure in the most lavish costumes after the latest French fashion says much about their pride and prosperity and about the rise and pretension of the young Republic. Until then, life-size portraits had only been reserved for monarchs and nobility. These were Rembrandt's first life-size, standing and full-length pendant portraits and also the only ones he would ever make.
In this digitally edited version, the background has been changed and both Oopjen and Marten have been given the same background.
