This wonderful work was commissioned by a noble from Sicily and Rembrandt probably executed it to relieve his sever financial straits of his later life. Aristotle is portrayed at the high of his physical and financial success. He is sporting a magnificant chain, the gift from Aristotle's most prestigious pupil, Alexander the Great.

If you are interested in commissioning an oil painting on canvas of this art print, please send me an email attroy@trycap.com.




The work appears to bring to mind the quandry between the rich and the important: What matters most? How can one be certain that one is not selling out?
