Portraits of the True Self

I have always had a love for the paintings of Rembrandt and find the complexity of his career-long engagement with the genre of self-portraiture a rich subject of study. I write about this work within the framework of the true and false self, in an essay featured in Contemplative Light. A different edit of the essay appears in Issue #8 of Macrina Magazine.
