• Resumen

  • Rembrandt's frequent and sympathizing rendering of beggars is contrasted to a traditional, unfriendly attitude. The theme of the socially marginal figure (also found, for instance in the Prodigal Son and the Eastern Jew) may have had a psychological attraction for a master whose personality is here considered as having been more complex than is generally thought.
