Spring fair: Rembrandt's Saskia van Uylenburgh in Arcadian Costume

Saskia van Uylenburgh in Arcadian Costume (1635) — With a huge bouquet and a golden dress, the 23-year-old wife of Rembrandt poses as Flora, goddess of spring, in 1635. Rembrandt fits her out her as a deity of youth, rebirth and beauty, yet the rustic shepherdess’s staff she holds suggests real-life weakness. We can’t help knowing that Saskia van Uylenburgh was to die seven years later, in her 30th year. The painting is deeply moving, saturated in pathos, even without that information, for Rembrandt simultaneously portrays a spring deity and a mortal person
