About Rembrandt van Rijn and The Return of the Prodigal Son (1668)

Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669) painted this work in the last years of his life, around 1663–1669, illustrating the parable of the Prodigal Son from the Gospel of Luke. It is often seen as one of the most profound religious paintings ever made. Painted in oil on canvas and measuring about 262 x 205 cm, it was acquired for Empress Catherine the Great of Russia in the 1760s and is held in the State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg.
